Anyone care to speculate on what the 10th Anniversary JP will be like?

[Crimson Sunrise]

I hope it's reasonably affordable. That's all I'd really like out of it.

For being a 10th anniversary...I'd speculate, "street price" ....$3,500 - $4,000.

 

[fogman]

I'm guessing some chrome pup covers.

 

[Kaloyan]

Yeah I think it'll be more expensive than the Koa BFR

leaked today:

 

[73h Nils]

A Glass 8-string with a coco bolo fretboard and red laser LEDs mounted in the side of the neck. It would also come with a 90% discount to people whose names start with N.

Black hardware!

Anyone care to speculate on what will be featured on the 10th Anniversary JP?

Game Changer? 25th Style with toneblock and chambers? MIDI/Bluetooth pickup switching?

22 frets. 26.5 - 25.5" multiscale

sorry, thats just me dreaming

 

[koogie2k]

I won't venture to guess.....

I just know Pops is probably sitting back laughing cause he knows the curiosity is killing us!

Whatever it is...I am sure it will be spectacular as usual.

Don't know if they'd ever do it but a set neck (as opposed to a bolt-on) would be very cool.....

somewhere in the scraps vault there is a prototype of a 24.75 scale set neck petrucci.

Yes I Will take 2 please!!! Whats the hard shell case look like for those???

 

[Bungo]

I'm guessing some chrome pup covers.

Bit like THIS maybe?

One day.....

 

[Lukesilo]

Gorgeous!

I wanted to ask why the arm scoop design got left behind on the BFR model.

Just curious, does that cut away somehow affect the tone, or did JP's recently buffed arms no longer accommodate them?

 

[Lou]

At the GC Sessions last week, BP said the BFR was a redesign based on the revised cutaway and john's bigger physique. The guitar needed to balance like it used to. It wasn't just a quick cosmetic chop of the cutaway.

 

[Lukesilo]

What happens if JP quits working out and gets back to his original size then??? Im sure he has tons of both style cut out guitars but still would be nice to have one that fits perfect.

 

[petruccirocks02]

I'd personally love to see something with chrome covered pups and the EB pickup rings.

There are obviously numerous possiblities.. but something I thought might be cool is a mystic dream BFR, chambered, with black hardware...

I don't know how the chambers would affect the BFR JP, but either with or with out it depending on how it affects the sound, the above is one of my dream variations so it's probalby not a good idea for the anniversary, but it's nice for me to wish on. LOL

One thing I thought is that maybe it would be something like the above and with a lot of what has been mentioned, in both body shapes and if you get the non bfr it would have roasted neck and chambers, while the BFR version might just be a special finish it shares with the non BFR version.. both having an anniversary logo on the 12th fret of some sort.

Whatever it is... I'm bracing myself for that hit of "Oh I want one so bad!!" LOL

question about this prototype?

Did JP use the 20th pickups in this guitar on Score or was there a D-sonic somehow hidden uderneath those cover? if thats even possible?

If I remember correctly it was all 20th Silo electronics etc put into a very lovely JP body.

I'm still holding out for a limited run reproduction of this guitar. It is without question (to me anyway), the most desirable Music Man ever.
