Explain Thyselves!

[JP7Nomad]

I'm sure this guitar has some sort of cool story behind it. I just saw a pic of it posted on sevenstring.org with more than enough speculation on it.
Anyone got any ideas?

THats the lead player of the band "In this moment" they played our stage on the warped tour...he plays and Ibanez a little more but there is still time! The other guitarist plays a &string bfr pet and anrosewood axis

What pickups are on that guitar?? and there is no tone control?

 

[Colin]

cool guitar

 

[ScoobySteve]

I R CONFUSED

Bridge looks different too.

 

[Pablo]

EMGs and a fixed bridge... METAL MACHINE!

 

[Mick]

The sound is in the finger nails!

 

[Dizzy]

Wellsy's gonna cream his pants at that combo.

What bridge went on it ?

 

[Derek]

This is a custom guitar made for Chris Howorth of In this Moment....The Band was playing our stage all summer and both Chris and Blake selected the Petrucci's model. This guitar features EMG 707 pickups and a simplified volume/switching system...hardtail bridge ect ect...

Both guys loved the guitars and enjoyed using them this summer...

Here is Blake on his JP7 Bahama Blue on the EB stage....

I thought that its not possible to customize any signature models??

 

[beej]

Not for the general consumer. But EBMM often customizes models or does one-offs for artists they endorse.

Looks cool. I'm just surprised the JP sig is still on the headstock.

 

[Big Poppa]

As long as JP isnt then I dont think you should concern yourself. All modifications are done with the sig artist approval

 

[roburado]

I would think JP is flattered and honored that some young dudes want to play his guitar, look up to him, etc. I'm sure they're probably really happy to play JP's guitar. I sure am. So, why wouldn't the JP signature be there?

 

[roburado]

I'm checking out their MySpace. They seem pretty cool. iTunes download imminent.

That song gets a ton of airplay here in Hartford. The studio version isn't as vocally aggressive as the live version, and the band does a great job covering it.

Didn't know they were EBMM players, thanks for posting that pic!

 

[buckethead777]

Oh my!
The singer.....should just not sing...ever

Well the signature for sure should always be there, but im not gonna lie it would be cool to get to the point where I could have my initials on the 1st fret, or the shield not be there at all...but actualy at that point if EBMM is allowing me to mod a signature guitar thats the last of my worries..chambered body, blackburst w/black hardware, and ALL ebony neck w/ no inlays \m/
