What guitar did Petrucci use...

[JPetrucci07]

While playing Raising the Knife on the 20th anniversary show. Its the standard JP6 but I don't remember that finish ever being around. Was it a one off?

 

[73h Nils]

Yeah, it was a one-off... I would do some pretty interesting things to get my hands on one just like it.

IIRC it had PAFs instead of the "normal" pickups. When he hits that first note in the Goodnight Kiss solo.... GAH, melt...

Hybrid 20th Anniversary Silhouette and JP6 - it was the predecessor what would eventually become the BFR JP

Color was called "Caramel Burst"

I'm watching that video again. That tone is MONSTER. I would kill for that guitar! Beautiful!

 

[nathanhny]

Yeah what an awesome looking and sounding guitar

 

[Danserrano]

Agreed. Beautiful top.....

 

[lumberjack]

Yep, that's the one. If that was offered, I would order one tomorrow.

It is this guitar

It's a beaut, but let's be honest, those pickups with the chrome covers are eyesores!

If the pick ups were direct mounted, no rings, that'll be perfect. Nice color though, there should be a BFR with the forearm scoop.

Inspired by this :

Same pickups and tone woods and color. Check it out in the FS thread (shameless plug).

I'd be all about that too, I miss the scoop on the BFRs

 

[misterB]

Although he sounded great throughout that entire show, when he played that guitar my goose bumps got bigger!!! Sounded SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DAMN HUGE!!!!!

 

[RocketRalf]

I was just watching it again... The Spirit Carries On Solo is amazing! Huge, singing, perfectly detailed tone.

Those are the pickups in my guitar!!

 

[AgustinJP50]

Absolutely right Tung, I thought about that quite a while ago, a BFR with the scoop would be just perfect, or well, a JP6 with the cutaway of the BFR, which would be more or less the same thing. Anyhow, it obviously won't ever happen, as the intention with the BFR was to make the whole guitar bigger.

 

[ScoobySteve]

What's amazing with that BFR Proto is two things:

Arm Scoop


AND....... It's got an unfinished neck! AMAZING!!!!!!

 

[73h Nils]

I disagree with you guys on the pickup covers. I think they look classy and are a good match.

 

[yngzaklynch]

Love the guitar but I just can't get into those pickup rings with the 2 screws on the one side.

 

[littlephil]

He should have got me to burn the covers for him
I like the covers actually, although I like open coils just as much. The rings I don't like that much though.
