??? Ernie Ball Music Man Exclusive Run JP15 John Petrucci Signature Guitar, Trans Red

**samuelbcooke** · 02-04-2021, 02:11 PM

Hello all!

I have just come across this magnificent JP15...

Before racing into buying it however - what on earth is this run of guitars? I've never before come across the branding 'exclusive run' with EBMM guitars before (perhaps just ignorance on my behalf), and I cannot see anything on the music man website to explain it.

I guess my question is:
- 1) are these legit?
- 2) what's the deal? They aren't BFR's I guess... anyone know details on the 'exclusive run' line?

They are 101% legit and they are specifically made for the store that ordered them. Buy with confidence. Go for it, for they will not be available for long!!

Hello - Thanks very much for the prompt reply!

I am now regrettably running into issues with shipping...a couple of stores have indicated they are not permitted to ship to Australia... Simply heartbreaking!

I have contacted EBMM directly but I am not hopeful...

Before I go down the dark road of privately trying to arrange a (complete stranger) to buy one in person for me and arrange shipping with them (I swear I'll go to any lengths, haha) - does anyone know of any means to subvert this restriction??

Any help is, as always, appreciated.

Regards
Sam

Sam, Remember if you do that you won't have a warranty.

All sorted guys and nothing dodgy about it!
Found an absolutely lovely store, all above board and just a pleasure to deal with.
And to think, all those bad things people say about Americans (I'm joking of course).

I'll post some pics when the gorgeous thing arrives.

Thanks everyone for the help, as always.
