Ok, you can torture us xD, but the least you can do is to give us an ETA on a release date, or at least a time when we can expect a full reveal!!! :) (Info on the JP12 would be sweet too!!!)

Brilliant, BP... you know how to drive your folks crazy ;)

But hey, wait a minute.... is it what I read? JPX12 (in words twelve)??? Like in TWELVE STRING GUITAR :eek: ??????? Or am I completely on the wrong path right now?

Nah, the 12 is just the next evolution in the JP line- first the JPX (X standing for 10), then the JPXI (XI standing for 11) and now the 12 (JPXII?)

If X stands for 10, then it would be JP1012 since BP specifically said "JPX12".

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but if you think for a second.. there's JP6 and JP7. Both of these have numbers where the number dictates how many strings it has. Then there's the JPX which in a sense is JP10 but the 10 was just to indicate that it's a new model in celebration of JP's 10 years with EBMM(plus it was released in '10), hence they choose to make the "10" -part with roman numbers(X) instead of a regular number like they do with their "amount of strings" -numbers.

There's already JPX6 and JPX7(6-string and 7-string versions of JPX-model), that'll lead to the conclusion that JPX12 would actually be a JPX model with 12 strings.

But again, who knows other than BP :)

JPX = JP10
JPXI = JP11
Now BP called it a JPX12 which could go either way. I would tend to think it's gonna be JPXII which would Just be the next evolution of the JPX line. I kinda doubt a 12 string JPX would be much of a seller. Either way I can't wait to see the new models so I can cat GAS like a MOFO.

OMG I resisted to the JPX and JPXI...But I could fail with the stallion !
We can see pointy edges on the front pic, like an asymetric SG, I feel the force is strong with this one
Oh my god

Yeah, the reason i'm assuming it that way is because the JPXI is referred to as the JPX11

A valid conclusion indeed.
It doesn't make much sense in calling it JPX11 though. JP11 I would understand since XI is 11. But JPX11?? Ohwell :) We'll just have to wait and see what turns up ;)

I noticed the angled headstock as well. Interesting! Cant wait to see the body design and the super access. Maybe it does not have a lower horn at all hahaha.

Exactly my point :D JPX11 doesn't exist ;)

It's called Roman Numerals- they teach it in elementary school. The JPX was the 10th anniversary JP guitar. Just like the JPXI came out the following (11th) year- followed now by a JPXII the next year. Oh my God, is this real life? This isn't a hard concept to grasp. Not stoked on seeing what looks like yet another BLACK guitar, presumably with no color options. Other than that, excited...

Not sure I'm following. Didn't I just say exactly that?
XII means 12, I'm sure we can agree on that. So JPXII would be translated into JP12 if you were to use regular numbers. However, BP said JPX12(notice the X?), leading me to think that the X would stand for 10(as in 10th anniversary) and the 12 stand for how many strings. Of course, this is what I think :) Although, a 12-stringed JPX model would be a fairly strange move by EBMM and would likely not be their top-seller as someone else pointed out so BP probably meant JP12(as in JPXII) and not JPX12(which would be JP1012 :p).
