There was an announcement a day or two back.

It has it's own place too:

jpxi | guitars | instruments

Hope I ain't called out for posting this one

 

[bdtunn]

hahaha oooppps, totally missed that. I guess I've been looking for gamechanger info and missed it. The next question is when are the JPX's going to be available in lefties? I want this one!!

The color is really nice in person, very hard to photograph though. New bridge design as well

I saw the JPXI a couple of days ago and then it dissapeared. I didn`t say anything about it because I thought everyone already knew about it. I think someone hit the buttong a couple days ago.

I couldn't get the pics to load on the main page either, but here are what the thumbnails point to:

I believe the link to the larger pic of the bridge is bad.

They all work for me. Clear cache? What browser are you guys using?

 

[jamminjim]

woo hoo .... .....stainless steel frets! (firefox)

 

[DaPatrooch]

I'm really liking the look of this guitar, it seems to build on the look of the JPX, and the neck is definitely interesting. Can't wait to try one! I was wondering, what's the middle pickup position now, since there's no push/pull pot? Also, I noticed that the JP guitars have hybrid slinkys now. When was the switch from the 10s?

 

[ScoobySteve]

It has standard ebony board. New thinner 20" radius. Larger base plate on the term (presumably to help with dive bombs and strings hitting the pole) and no chambering but jpx asymmetrical body design. Old BFR 3 way switch

 

[smd24fan]

Love it! Stainless frets being the coolest change to me. I have them on my Suhr, amazing!

 

[the24thfret]

Definitely an interesting guitar with the most radical changes being the 20" radius neck and the steel frets. Have to say I'd miss the 5way though... One of the best parts of the JPX IMO.

The switch had to happen when they updated the website in the last 2 days. I'm hoping my guitar (due any day now) made it out the factory with 10s. I literally checked 2 days ago and it had 10s on the website.
