You'll have to excuse the retro 80s satin bedspread:

I was pleasantly surprised the neck has some figuring:

This must be the new compensated nut (unexpected bonus):

The case compartment was damaged; not sure if I'll do anything about that. I'll post my opinions about this guitar after a few weeks but I like it already. The forearm cutout is super comfortable unlike the sharp cornered Axis. Has a very wide/flat neck profile (thinner & flatter than the UV). The JP7 makes my Ibanez Universe seem like a cheaply built toy. Thanks EBMM for making me such a nice guitar & Pete Dubaldo for intervening even though I didnt buy this one from you. I see a Petrucci 6 in the not so distant future :)
 
Awesome, I'm glad to see they finally shipped it to you! That compensated nut is something else, huh? :)

Sidenote: Your check for the Silo arrived in the mail, thanks - whenever you want a JP quote, lemme know! ;)


Edit
About the case compartments, I had 1 arrive here where the compartment nails/screws had backed out after the instrument slide-hammered the compartment during rough shipping (as evidenced by the box). After inspecting the instrument to find it free of damage, I repositioned the compartment and put the nails back in, with a little bit of woodglue on each.
Then I sold the bass to my cousin :D

That's one nice looking instrument...I like the "Limited Edition 2005" Stamp on the back! Thanks for the pics!
 
That's really nice looking!!!!!!!! Enjoy playing it!!!!!!!!!!

Do all JP7 come with that compensated nut and what exactly does it do that a regular one doesn't??????????
 
Bump for the compensated nut 7... I want to buy another 7 but I want one with the new nut. I have the Earvana installed on two of my guitars. It really helps with the tuning on the first five positions. If you play open position chords on a guitar with a compensated nut/BF tuning and on one without you can definately hear the difference-the ones with the alteration sound much more in tune.
