JPX vs JPXI

[whitestrat]

Chambering is fine...JP has a chambered guitar and wnated to sort of morph a lot of what he likes into one guitar....

Meaning the 5 way drove him nuts? Hahaha!!! I know it did to me for a bit. But it's fine now, can I really can't get used to the 3 way anymore...

Stainless frets are just amazing! Have them on two of my "other" guitars, they feel and look incredible.

stainless steel frets + ebony fretboard is the smoothest combination imaginable
i have that on another guitar and whenever i switch back to a rosewood/nickel it feels dirty compared to it

I just hope that the JPX is not going anywhere i still want to buy one.
