JP uses exactly the same model as you can buy it in stores right now.

Jes, there´s a new model on the way...look, its postet somewhere.
Nevertheless the old model will still be produced by MM.

Hi trippled

Apparently the current version will continue to be available after the new one comes out.

Excellent choice BTW. I love my Pet's.

With the EBMM signature models--BP has explained that they want the artist to be able to walk in any store, pick their models off the shelf and use them. Yes--they are exactly the same as the artist is using onstage.

If I were you I´d save the money til I could get one with the piezo. Me thinks it isn´t that much so wait some months and then go for the real deal

It's generally easier to find an Axis or Axis Super Sport in the stores I've been to lately. I don't know why. It's just generally more difficult to find the JP where I live. When I do see them or see them listed on a dealer inventory the colors are often Mystic Dream and Pearl Redburst.

Yes - John Petrucci's guitars are the same as mine...

 

[robelinda2]

thats the coolest thing about Ernie Ball guitars, you get what the artist gets. I LOVE IT!

 

[koogie2k]

Yep, same axe all the way. Problem is, you don't get the Petrucci mojo or his ability to play. You have to get that on your own....
