Maiden69 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Why not make it with a tremolo like Petrucci plays, it looks as if all of them are hardtails. So far I like it, don't like the fact that it is 22 frets instead of 24 and that the cutout in the bottom starts at the 19th fret ( I would have prefered at least on the top of the 22, and on the Petrucci is at the top of the 24th. If you are EBMM and are making a prototype of a guitar that it's a staple on your brand, it should be done exact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden69 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Wes, I think from the few shapes out, I think the petrucci is the most apealing, and believe me it is as comfortable as a caddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drak Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 I sort of like the inverted front bout, might steal that idea one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the guitar he will be playing on tour. There already is a 24 fret, 25.5" scale JP sig with a tremolo. This will be his new 22 fret, 24.75" neck through model.

MzI Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 I actually find the flying V the most comfy guitar to play sitting down, then again i sorta have shoulder problems from back in my baseball days, even playing my classical makes my shoulder hurt so for me the V is the ultimate MzI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in the Some Kind of Monster extras. He was playing an ESP Explorer. He plays a lot of Les Pauls on stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregP Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 I'm indifferent to the Petrucci guitars. The Axis is a good body shape, though. I think EBMM have done a few decent shapes. The Albert Lee one is a kick, too. <chuckle> Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 part of me is falling for it, but without that beauty of a trem and 24.75" - no chance mait! im actually thinking of going all non-trem, but the trem on that is soo good it would be silly to not put it on! you have gotta try em out!

Jivin Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 I reckon he would wes... but of course thats just a hunch. Off topic, but speaking of hetfield off stage, I still cannot beleive that zakk wylde spat at hetfield and told him to "get off my godamn bus" or somesuch... I know it was a while back now... but still! Meh, Its probably just a unsubstantiated rumour, but you never know - Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feylya Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 It's apparently because he wouldn't have a drink with him or because he went to rehab. Something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Brown Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) looks great and like the neck through addition, but as previously mentioned dont like the fact i dosent have 24 frets and that its a hardtail (without pezio) also i dont like the back angled head stock which suggest it wont have locking tunners can anyone tell if the binding it plastic or maple? imho maple is way better for binding, it looks better and when using it on the neck you dont have to cut the tangs off Edited May 17, 2006 by George Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
