Can someone explain to me the simplest way to post pictures here, bet you’re dying to see the new color, but I’ve got no idea how this forum works. :)
Use imgur.com to upload the photos. Then place the link to each photo in between the following brackets:

Is there anything different besides a change of color on this model?
It is no different from any other Johnny Marr Jaguar, except the color.

I did notice that on my LPB JM Jag, the two e-string saddles looked smaller than the other four, as pictured above. We’re the earlier models like this, if not, I’m glad that they fixed it with a smalller saddle.

The outer saddles are smaller diameter on most Mustang-style bridges, in order to fit the neck radius. Here's a 2014 Marr bridge showing that ..

The question with the LPB Marr would be whether the E-E groove separation is closer to 56mm or 52mm.

Has anyone heard anymore news on how limited these are? Are we still thinking 300 total?

That’s what Johnny said... so, if it’s coming from the man himself, then it must be trustworthy.

Just measured the LBP’s bridge, it’s 52mm.

Interesting. It would seem that they have indeed addressed the E-E spacing issue on the new LPB (only ?). Staytrems are 52mm. Original Marrs were reported as 56mm (ie standard Mustang bridge spacing), but with the Staytrem's nylon post-holders ....

Look at the high E saddle... they notched it off-center like Staytrem does. Johnny's personal Jag's have had the saddles like this from day one.

In truth, it is the only forum of which I’m a member, that requires signing up for an account at another service in order to post photos.

I can understand the requirement for Bandcamp or Soundcloud embeds but webforums are a visual medium and, again, this this only place that wants me to creat an account somewhere else to do so. Nein Danke. Just update the forum software.
Remember being held hostage by PhotoFucket or whatever? Lost all those photos stretching back years.

I just tried to upload some pics in another thread and ran into the same issue. I found this post looking for a sticky about uploading photos . Your comment is only a few weeks old so I don't imagine the situation has changed so I'll add my voice. Photobucket is an excellent example of the problem with linking to a third party fin order to display photos.

I've been on the WWW since Mosaic and seen it grow into what it is now and can say with authority that this forum is not up to speed when it comes to posting photos.

It looks like the strings are centered over the intonation screws on the production LPB jag. Marr's personal jag does have off centre saddles though.
