Does EB produce the non-BFR John Petrucci 7-Strings in White? Or is that just a rare color for JP7s?
I was wondering since I've only seen the JP7s in Pearl Redburst, the BFR colors and (once) in Mystic Dream.

Thanks guys!

Yeah I've seen the white JP6s, I love the color but I would really like it as a JP7, I mean I already have my lovely JP6 and I haven't owned a 7 string yet, so I would like a first but would only really ever need one, I'm not a 7 string fanatic, I prefer 6 strings over anything but I would just like a 7 string for those songs....

i can say from personal experience as someone who never played anything other than 6 strings that once you play a 7 string you see no practical reason for the 6's anymore...it just makes sense!

Contact your local EBMM dealer and order one. Alternatively, you can contact Ernie Ball or Music Man customer service, and they might be able to help you find one.

Ok thanks for the help guys! I'll check it out.

By the way "pearlredburst", it's more a thing of comfortability than practicality, I finnd 6 string way more comfortable and you can always get confused, especially at the start, thinking that the low B on a 7 string is the low E haha. Also, I find stuff like bar chords easier on a 6 string since you don't accidentally touch the string above and you can just strum "in a more showy, exaggerated way" without worrying about hitting the low B.
Call some of these reasons practise or kinda stupid but everyonehas their own style. If 7 strings do it for you, then use only them! Haha I don't want to start an argument here :p

Can I hate you now?


Haha joking man, where did you find that? It's insane!

I got this beauty from Pete DuBaldo off of a special order. 7 strings are always fun to have, but I can't say that they are always necessary to play. I love mine more than any other non musicman guitar. That is just me though, I really want to buy JP6 or an axis soon as a main 6 string.
