Although you read a lot of comparisons to the two, I honestly think the carve is different enough to feel immediately. The JP6 has a tiny bit more meat in the back which makes it feel a heck of a lot more comfortable in my hands. Jmho, but I'm nobody, so I'll shut up now.

the reason I ask is because I don't like any Ibanez necks I've tried.... I don't really know a lot about Dream Theatre or Petrucci either... but that guitar looks very interesting... and with a bit of money now coming my way I might be interested in one... I play a Luke and I love it but maybe I could also like something like this... I'm not a speed merchant and I love all the old classic rock type stuff... mmmmm:rolleyes:

The Luke neck has a bit more thickness and feels more like a classic neck than the JP6. In my opinion, it's closest to my Fender V-neck Strat, so it's home to me, although I prefer the Luke's unfinished feel. I was lucky and got to spend a lot of time comparing the JP6, Luke, Axis, and a bunch of the other brands.
Since you don't like the feel of Ibanez, I'd strongly suggest that you try to get your hands on a JP6 before buying then.
