John in action!

[Music Man]

There a bunch of great pics over on the Petrucci forum from a G3 concert. Seems like John is defenetely favoring the Prote JPM. One of the pics clearly shows why he has that lower horn cut the way it is. Can't help thinking of his IBZ when I see these pics.

Anyway here is the link: http://66.179.182.17/forums/showthread.php?t=41043

So does LaRue play sets with both Satch and Petrucci?

You know I was going to ask the same thing.

 

[OrangeChannel]

yup. he's getting a work out two sets a night.

Seems like JP is hiding his rig from all us rabid DT fans so that we won't comment on it prematurely.

It's cool that JP is out there road-testing the F1. I guess we'll see what survives and what doesn't. I hope he can finalize the thing by NAMM.

It's good to see the new JP proto in action makes me want one even more.....As for the shape of an Ibanez dont see it , but looks like we might have a winner with the new proto ...Can't wait till winter NAMM.

It's probably the fly rig. Keep in mind they might be rocking smaller venues there so it's advantageous to keep the kit to a minimum on the stage. Last I heard, the rig he took to South America on the last tour had that custom Boogie pre in it...the one with the green faceplate that may or may not exist...and it (the B rig) still exists as a single rack (which it was then) with some different stuff in it. Skrydstrup and Mario from Axess have both mentioned recently that their products are involved with the rigs (methinks the small has a mixture of both and an FX-1 as the controller...I could be wrong, but he's using both maker's midi controllers these days...one each for the A and B rigs.). He'd take the smaller one along due to cartage costs like he did on the last South American swing most likely...

I don't think it looks very Ibanez-y.

I never cared much for the RG bodystyle that Ibanez has been milking to death as "signature" guitars and everything else for 20 years.

Too square and pointy. *shrug*

I'm really pleased with the current JP bodystyle.

 

[Music Man]

Okay just wanted to clear up something here real quick. I am not saying that it looks exactly like his Old IBZ Sig model, and even if that were so that would not be a bad thing. I use to own his IBZ and I thought it was a great guitar, nothing compared to the quality of EBMM, but still a great guitar. With that lower horn cut and the different body shape, TO ME, it just resembles the IBZ a little, and again that is not a bad thing, I have nothing against IBZ's I sell them, and I think they make great guitars, of course nothing like EBMM that is why I currently own 2 and are waiting for my third, which I can guarantee will not be my last.
So anyway just wanted to share that.

That person is just a bit JP obsessive........................

I just wish he would have taken a few more pictures!

Heh. How did the guy even enjoy the concert squinting through his camera??

I am not sure but I think it is a gal that took all of the pics.

 

[kneeoh]

Yes, its a girl... she's actually a forumer here too.

Lordy, JP looks as if hes going to break that guitar in half in a few of those piucs.... Gym much? hehehhehehe

Good point on the reduced rig.

G3 2006 Rig (FX1, GRX4 & CFX4 x2)

I was right....FX1 for control...cfx4's to control amp functions, and the grx4 to loop up some pedals and such...

Is it just me or is the back of the neck lacquered?

I the neck is mahogany (as in the ill-faited preview thred), that would make a lot of sense - mahogany simply isn't as strong as maple.

Cheers

It is finished as it is a mahogany neck.
