Hi friends, first post here!:) Let's start this NGD with a video I've just made, hope you like it!


Of course, some nice pics wouldn't hurt too :cool:

Some words on the guitar: all I can say is that this is the perfect evolution of the JP model, and has all the specs I could desire in a dream guitar.

Having recently owned a JP7 BFR (sold it just to buy this one) I can honestly say that it was absolutely worth it. At first the flatter 20" radius is a bit awkward but after a minute it's a dream to play.
The neck is definitely thinner, but I don't feel that much of a difference from the previous one. Ebony fretboard, SS frets and a more stable bridge (even the trem cavity is tighter) all contribute to an overall better instrument.
And the finish, oh the finish :) It's so hard to capture it on photo, so cool in person!

I should mention that the guitar arrived not only in tune, but with an exceptional low action and perfect intonation, which is more than rare these days. Now excuse me, I need some more shred :D

I'm thinking of selling my JPX for this guy. I love my JPX but because of the chambered body you get crazy amounts of harmonics and the pickups will randomly pick up certain notes when you're not wanting that effect. Don't get me wrong it plays great and sounds amazing I'm just not experienced enough a player to play a JPX successfully yet. I'm having to palm mute damn near every note and thats just too hard for me.

Maybe I'll just buy a JPXI without selling my JPX. It being my first guitar I'm emotionally attached to it.

Yeah, definitely do that. The JPX's are so beautiful and unique.
