Eygptian Smoke or Pearl Redburst?

[petruccirocks02]

Hey guys my name is Phil and I'm new to the forum. I currently don't have any EB's but I plan on either getting a JP6 on ebay or ordering one. What would you guys pick, Pearl Redburst or Egyptian Smoke. I really like both colors and I can't decide. Does anyone happen to have a pic of an Egyptian Smoke JP6 with a natural headstock, because chances are either color I go with I'll be getting it with a natural headstock. Thanks guys.

I say get the Pearl Redburst. ES is a great, great color, but if you branch out into other Balls, you can get the ES on one of those. PRB is exclusive to the JPs.

It's personal preference, of course. But, I'd go with the Pearl Redburst.

'ello Phil, welcome aboard!

Egyptian Smoke is a killer color. You have to see it in person to appreciate it, pics do not do it justice. Also, the Pearl redburst Pets are a dime-a-dozen, you can always pick one up on the 'bay for cheap.

As an owner of one, I'd say Egyptian Smoke.

Katana, can you post a few pics of your egyptian smoke. Maybe like from a few different angles so I can see what diff. shades it looks like. Thanks a bunch.

Welcome Phil ...

If you like the two colors, perhaps you can ask your girlfriend / wife to choose. So, if she is involved in the buying, you will not have too much "What a new guitar ??? but you have already so many guitars ...."
If she's part of the decision, your life will be easier !

Good luck

Fbecir, no wife, no girlfriend. I'm single all the way! Too much drama. LOL. Right now I'm just focusing on work and my music. I see the Pearl Redburst JP's pop up on ebay all the time but I rarely see an Egyptian Smoke ones on there. I don't think I could handle ordering a new Egyptian Smoke and having to wait 5 months or however long the wait is. Does anyone know for sure how long the wait is on getting a JP built?

Hi there

The wait on a new order will certainly be a few months, but have you checked with Pete DuBaldo yet?

I have a feeling he may have both colours in at the moment?

When you will have your Petrucci, all the girls will fall in your arms !!!

Haha, that'll be the day! Can hardly wait.

Sure-I'll get some up this afternoon.

Here are all the ones I have, including Pete's dealer pics:

Thanks for posting those pics Katana. This is gonna be a hard decision. Every time I watch Score and see JP playing the Egyptian Smoke during TROAE I just want one, it looks so badass. Every pic I see of Pearl Redburst just seems like a deep red to me, but are there sparkles in the paint or anything?
