Ok so what I'm getting is- if I order a straight up JP, it will be honey burst over plain top, but if I order a JP BFR, it'll be honey burst over figured top?

It would just be a honey burst on the mahogany body man. Same thing with the Silhouettes and any guitar that in regular production does NOT have any top wood.

That sounds 100% right, you'll get a mahogany body no matter what instrument you're ordering. But if that particular model normally has a maple top, you'll still get the maple top sitting on a mahogany body.

Just got a price quote from a PDN dealer. They indicated that it can be ordered with or without matching headstock? I was under the impression that only matching headstock was an option? Can anyone shed some light on this (Pete/Glen/A.J.)? Thanks a bunch!

Sure thing! Matching headstock comes as part of the package per the flyer on page 1 and is not optional.

Thanks, I thought so! They also indicated that orders can only be placed this week, maybe that has to do with the different channels it has to go through (PDN dealer, importing company).. Already asked them these question, let's see what the answer is.

Can we get more detailed pictures of the PDN JP6 please?

Well, it looks like I'm not going to be in on this one... Trade-in price for my Reflex was way too low to even consider it. Maybe a second-hand one in a few years..
Still excited to see the first ones of this run turn up!

What's a Pao Ferro fingerboard? :/

take a look here:
Caesalpinia ferrea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
short: a different kind of rosewood, also known as brazilian rosewood. it´s slightly harder as rosewood.
copied from warmoth.com:
An excellent dense, hard wood with a very tight pore structure. This means it’s fast, smooth and extremely durable. An excellent choice for fretless fingerboards. Not only is it resistant to wear, but often the wood figuring is striking with variations in color from light tan to a dark coffee. The tone is brighter than Rosewood yet warmer than Ebony with plenty of articulation and attack. One of our favorite woods for fingerboards! No finish required!

one minor correction, pau ferro is not Brazilian rosewood. They are two different types of wood. The Wikipedia site says it's known as Brazilian ironwood and serves as a rosewood substitute.

you are right, i should have written Bolivian Rosewood or Brazilian Ironwood, mixed up those two.
I have an order for an ASS getting placced by Pete. I'm going to be stoked when it finally shows up, what, August time-frame? Stainless frets too, it is about time and it makes sense. Hopefully when I finally send my ASS in for a re-fret I can get stainless.
