What's with this Petrucci prototype?

[beachjammer]

Hey guys,
I know that you all have discussed this guitar before because I got the pics from this site a couple years ago. Anyway ,give me an update. I know that this isn't one of the BFR's or his 20th Anniversary Score guitar because the headstock is bigger and has a tilt. Plus this guitar is a neck-thru and also appears to be a string thru body as well. I'm thinking that it was intended to be a baritone What's your input?

that was a prototype that never made it into production. The BFR F1 has replaced it.

John didn't like it when all was said and done. Nuff said. It had a 24.75 scale and a 22 fret neck apparently...

 

[Rossie]

Yup, it had the Les Paul in mind...

 

[beachjammer]

Since he didn't like it then can I have it

 

[Big Poppa]

Nope, as far as I know, those raw protos were never finished. BP and crew passed one around at the open house.

22 frets for a guitar JP uses??? I can see why it didn't turn out.

It would be nice to see a set neck Ball one day...

I'd personally loved to had a neck-thru, string-thru body, 22 fret Petrucci model. That would stomp any PRS or Gibson ever made!!

I prefer bolt on's. For some reason, they just seem more...um...repairable? My LP Custom has a set neck, and I always feel like if something bad happens to either end of it, I'm SOL. Plus, you can't take them apart to get on a plane like Mr. Morse.

To paraphrase BP, that's what JP thought until they made him one.
