G3 In San Francisco Pics

[peedo_deedo]

To all of my forum mates, here are a couple of pics i have from the G3 Show last Saturday night here in the Bay Area. The pictures I have of Petrucci with his new BFR's doesn't do justice (i can't stress this enough!) as to how they really look in person. They are absolutely amazing! The Third picture i thought was really funy. Since it was St. Patrick's Day, they wore some "Green Stuffs" which made the night even more fun.

I am also sharing you the pics of my JP's signed by the "MAN" himself

If I may ask those of you who have their guitars signed, what clear coat should i use to put over his signature? any particular brand you recommend? any particular techniques and do's and dont's? i don't wanna mess it up by doing it on my own without asking you guys first. please help!!!!

He always wears them (at least the last few years). I think his ears might be damaged

Very nice guitars. Loving the Red burst, looks like a great show.

was on paul´s website (very interesting & funny - done by himself)
on the link-page Links he links to that: Extreme Isolation Headphones

EXTREME ISOLATION HEADPHONES
I wear these headphones at every live show and every rehearsal I do.
They save my hearing by blocking out the loud stage volume, and they allow me to have the perfect mix at the perfect level. Save your ears too!

He doesn't like monitor speakers. He prefers earphones instead......

Paul has suffered some loss of hearing, as shown by his chart at his web site:

 

[OrangeChannel]

PG as some really really bad tinnitus. Hence the mufflers...apparently at clinics, he asks people to shout questions since he can barely hear off the periphery...that's a damn shame to be honest, especially considering he engineers/produces too and you need those ears to be 100 percent.

I totally agree, after seeing it up close, i can't stop thinking about how beautiful that finish is.

 

[francric]

Eventhough those head phones are a bit dorky, it's worth it to save your hearing and they are way cheaper than the fitted kind...........

Killer Pics peedo deedo, and looks like a great show....I will have to agree with you guys the black burst is awesome, loving it man...The ruby burst is Kool too.

Thanks. I read that thread and a few others. i found out that one forum member actually used an acrylic clear coat over the signature. i went to home depot to get one and they advised me to talk to a professional guitar tech before doing such because it might not be good for the wood, especially as precious as the JP's.

Hopefully someone from the forum can give me advises coz i don't wanna mess up my guitars.
