>> JP Testing New Neck & SS Frets ?? <<

[Dizzy]

Just spotted this on JP's Facebook.

"I'm trying out my JPX with stainless steel frets, a flatter radius and slightly different neck carve. All part of the evolution!"

Details ??

and when can we get one ???

He did mention having some jetfretz installed on a JPX.

 

[Big Poppa]

no jet fretz this is a twenty in radius he wanted to try.....its crazy

 

[sambarugh]

They were mentioned via FB on a related post:

Been experimenting with Jetfretz on my JPX. They are actually pretty badass!

I'd be interested how you found the installation process. Seems tricky with the dovetail.

 

[whitestrat]

Almost flat radius??? Like a classical??? Cool!

 

[TNT]

20 radius - ouch!!

Dear JP --
Please stop continually improving your signature line of guitars. I can't afford it.
Yours,
me

I love stainless steel frets... they make my Silo Special almost too easy to play.

Almost.

Interesting!

ugh, I have to either sell off my house or the baby if this goes into production. Hopefully it won't be available for lefties.


wait..what?

Did you just make a lefty reference?
Go wash your dirty mouth with soap!

 

[Dante]

he's a lefty, he's allowed

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

I'm guessing this voids the warranty!

Cool to hear that he's still tweaking

 

[leftyguitarblue]

Pete with the proof. Warranty is void!!!

 

[Dante]

hah, guess he went with an unfinished neck after all

 

[Big Poppa]

There are no plans for a Jetfrets JP.

 

[Tanax]

Is 20 radius big?

 

[Zippoman]

Is 20 radius big?

Im no math dude but I think the bigger the radius the thinner the neck. Think of it like a circle. A small circle has deeper arcs but a larger circle has more shallow arcs. Well, theres the chance I could be completely off too haha

 

[patpark]

20" radius means it is very flat, almost no arch/radius to the fingerboard.
