..and very impressive it was too. Nicely balanced, great paint job, nice tuners, decent trem (could have done with lubing, as could the nut), the toggle felt positive, as did the volume and tone.

The fretboard and neck felt great. The frets felt a tad smaller than on the EBMM JP, but the board was nicely finished off with no sharp frets.

I only played though a clean sound and it's definitely got the middle PUP sound of the original JP. The neck PUP sounded a bit "boomy" and the bridge PUP was night and tight. No dead spots and as I say, the paint job was stand out.

It's up for sale at the American Guitar Centre in Tonbridge:

The UK's AMERICAN GUITAR CENTRE & BASSWORLD

Very impressive overall. They had an AX40 in but I was a bit pushed for time.

And to add to qualify, I've owned (put's thinking cap on...) 6 EBMM JP's.

I think you've hit one out the ball park BP!

Congrats,
Trev

I owned an AX40 for about 5 months last year. I also tried the JP50 they had on the shelf. They are extremely well made guitars.
