Hey fellas. Here's the pic my nephew Anthony took of John Petrucci and me just after he signed my Egress behind the bridge. I must make some disclaimers first:

1) I swear I don't look anything like this. I don't know what cosmic event took place that resulted in me looking like the total jag-off you see in this picture.

2) My nephew needs a smack in the teeth for not getting the body of the guitar in the picture.

3) My nephew needs a smack in the teeth.

4) I just realized OC looks a bit like Artie Lang. See him in the back with black hat on? ;) j/k OC, you're top-shelf, man.

I bet you really look exactly like that.


Yep, he does. :D

Cud, your axe is a thing of beauty, it was an honor to even play a few notes on it!
 
I don't look like my avatar. I think it's funny; it was a random picture of me I found on some internet website and I thought it was pretty funny that there was a picture of me there. But it doesn't really look like me. Well, maybe pretty much exactly like me.

any info on THE EGRESS? i googled it and nothing!!! ,is it a custom or a handmade guitar?

Cudbucket built the entire guitar himself, start to finish. He did a bang-up job on it, too! In person it has this gorgeous shimmer in the woodgrain and is pretty damn stunning.
 
that is awesome!!!

i wish there were digital camers when i met some of my guitar heros!

well..i guess i cant complain too much, i did get a pic of me and eddie. i wish had a pic of me and Ace Frehley when i met him back in '93.
 
I've since changed the URL for my site to www.dafguitars.com. There are more pics of the Egress and it's completion as well as my custom 2x12 cab and the Explorer I started.

Hey Cud, if you grew your beard longer, lost the glasses and slicked back your hair, you could pass for Petrucci's brother.
