Hi all, hoping to get some advice. I just got my jp15 Cerulean Paradise today... the bridge cover was a bit loose (first picture). So I loosened the strings and removed the bridge to tighten it. While I was removing the bridge, the chrome chipped off (second picture). This is so annoying as I just received this guitar. Has anyone ever faced this issue? Would this affect playability in any way? Is there anything I could do?

I don't think that'll have any effect on playability. Is it new? I'd try contacting your distributor or MM (if you're in the USA) and seeing what they say.

I had the issue with my second hand majesty, a nearly 1"x1" chip on the bridge cover. Had to buy a new one.

Did the chrome chip off like, just now? I wonder if that orange material is a copper flash coat on the steel, or oxidized steel. It's possible that it was already going to flake and moving the bridge simply accelerated the process.

Looks like the chip may actually be apparent in the first photo too, in which case it's a warranty issue and the dealer will look after you, so give them a call. If it was an accident that happened while you were doing something, you'll have to live with it. That said, it's only cosmetic and will not in any way affect tuning stability. It's all cool.
