Custom paint jobs on your Musicman?

[Jimothy JP7]

Does anyone have an EBMM with a color on it besides what's been available to the public? I've seen the custom Copper Sparkle Petrucci, are there any others? If so, pics?

Also, is there a Custom Shop kind of thing at EBHQ, or a recommended luthier people on the board have dealt with successfully? I love the Picasso on the guitars Petrucci used to play and I'd like to (one day) have either a replica of the white/black 7 string or a unique rendition of it, except on a MM instead of an RG.

Make your mind up Jimothy!! On your other thread you say you want it in plain wood, here you want custom paintwork.
Easy either way, just get some sandpaper or send it to a custom painter. I can recommend two ( I have a leopardskin Epiphone) but they're on the wrong side of the Atlantic. I'm sure there are some nearer you.

I'm a Petrucci addict, what can I say? haha

The wood grain would be a nice touch, but I'd rather have something like this before a bare wood model. You never know how the bare finish will effect the tone and such, I know a painted Petrucci will sound fine.

Plus, I don't think I'll be getting my hands on an Ibanez Petrucci anytiem soon.

As long as there's no dried blood grunge on the frets.

Hush!! Someone from F*****r's relic department might be listening.....dried blood will be $200 extra.......$500 if it's the same group as Eric Clapton's!!

Here's a quick vid clip of my 7 string JP after I buffed it. The color is Molten Gemstone.

Just a reference to an old thread. Punk rock Silo with real dried blood on the frets, for effect. Gotta love punkers.

That's the truth. A third of the posts on TGP seem to be about 'how to make your strat look even s***tier'.

Ah ok, I wasn't around for that one I guess.

Pete, that looks awesome! Have you done others?

No custom shop. Out of curiosity, do you frequent the JP.com board? People over there seem to fantasize about the Picasso/EBMM hybrid quite freqently. Not that I care. Just an observation.

Thanks, the Copper Sparkle JP6 came from me, too. I've done some non-EBs, but this isn't the place for that.

the molten looks amazing Pete!

Well, I have a JP with a non-factory paint job. You either love it or hate it it seems!

With some Duncan Designed pickups?

 

[midopa]

That JP is awesome Norrin! Does it glow in the dark?

 

[Sub1 Zero]

Norrin I am STILL coveting that JP....

 

[SteveB]

I do recall that Norrin's JP glows in the dark. I love that finish.. it reminds me of a lollipop.

Funny you should say that. I've been thinking about the hybrid idea for a few months, even before I ordered my JP7, but only until this week have I been a member of the JP forums. Sounds like I'll fit in fine

Norrin Radd, that guitar is epic. Amazing idea

jaxadam, I'd probably get a 7 string with the new p-up configuration, I just used that pic real quick (I grabbed the first all white/all black I could find)
