What I'm curious about, is how you got a JPX 7-String. Seeing as according to Ernie Ball they don't offer the JPX in a 7 String at this time. I ordered my JPX almost 4 months ago (still waiting for it). And at the time I inquired about getting a 7 String, and all sources said "they don't make 'em, not available". So I'm a little disapointed now that I have a 6 string showing up sometime soon, and unless you did some major flawless editing on that video, you clearly have a 7 string model. Although in your video, the wiring diagram does say '6 String'
The JPX 7 has been available since NAMM just like the JPX 6. They just didn't put it on the website. I ordered mine the first day they were available. Pete DuBaldo also ordered another one which is the one MrLovejoy got.
I understand the 7 string version isn't on the website. This is likely why there is a bit of confusion about whether they are available or not. Whoever the dealer is who told you they aren't available must not have *called* EBMM to verify. They simply went by what they saw on the website.
So it's not a timing thing, nor are you going crazy watching the video. They really do exist and you can get one from a reputable EBMM dealer.
BTW, 4 months is about right. You should likely be seeing your JPX 6 very soon.
