Hi Y'all
So i looked at the Promo Flyers of the Neptune Blue and the '12 Honey Roasted Limited Editions
And I was wondering, why did they exclude the JPX, JPXI, JP12, Armada and Gamechanger Models?
The JP Line wasnt excluded from the Sparkle and Roswood Neck LE, so what's the Reason for that?
I think a JPX would have been Killer as Honey Roasted or Neptune Blue Version.
And having an Option for the Gamechanger might increase Sales aswell, since I personally wouldn't buy one because of the black or white Color Option
What do you Guys think about it?

Not having every model available in a PDN run makes it a bit of a lottery : I kinda like it.

Game Changer in black/white only is, to me, a turnoff.

The JPX Line is also offered in only one finish
So a PDN Run is your only chance to get another finish
Same with the Gamechanger

I think the JPX, JPXI, JPXII, and JP13 were likely excluded from the run because they have a maple cap under a solid finish in standard form, and most likely that is an unfigured, plain maple top. For the run, I don't think many people would have been happy with a plain maple top and it would have been more costly to throw in a crazy figured top, making it not make sense from the manufacturer end. Armada was likely an exception from the run for having a mahogany neck through construction and the last PDN run was an all roasted maple neck. That would probably have required some tweaking to get it to all come together and most likely wasn't cost effective either. The majesty was too new so they didn't want to compromise the new release of that model with an immediate limited production version. I don't know what the story on the game changer is.
