Been trying to get one of these for months! It was well worth every guitar I sold to get it! Behold, my new love!

Looks great! I saw those at NAMM 2014. Quite a bit of ergonomics were involved in building that model for John Petrucci. The arc of the controls were designed optimally for Petrucci's arm. The pickup selector switch was also designed for him as he claimed he could hear a lag when switching between bridge and neck pickups during fast runs. So they made a switch that has less "bounce" when you flip it so it responds quicker. Lots of stuff that you don't visibly see. Or so I was told by one of the EB designers. He was at the booth at NAMM unofficially and struck up a conversation with me when I was taking pix Congrats!

Cool guitar. Is that black piece on the body just paint? Or is something actually inset into the body? If so, what?Comment

I believe it's laser-etched maple made to resemble carbon fiber.Originally posted by shreddermon View PostI feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

I'm glad my memory is still pretty good!
I'm not that crazy about the shape compared to his original model, but I'm sure it plays like a dream.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

I've got two original JP6 guitars and one thing I liked about these as compared to all the other models that's come out is that it's so drastically different. In my opinion it's a huge leap forward! It's the most comfortable and even playing guitar that I've ever played! It so well balanced not only in weight but also the string height and the way the notes ring out. It's like everything about it is ergonomically correct.Comment

Wow, that's different - in a good way. The "carbon fiber" section is particularly a nice touch. Congrats!Comment

My thoughts exactly. Though seeing them live last year, John was playing a sunburst version without the "carbon fibre" finish in the middle and it didn't look too bad.Originally posted by toejam View Post
Interestingly EB has now made what could be described as a "Guthrie inspired" JP model with a burnt maple neck.
Congrats bjammer! No doubt it plays great.Comment
