[Big Poppa]

Ok We spent Sunday at the gig....flew out to slo that night...at the factory bright and early as we only had until 6 pm...Lets start with a morning shift factory shot where JP and I talked to the team!

JP signing a headstock for some lucky Japanese customer...surprise!

He is a fan....Like a kid in a candy store

working on the arm angle.....

serious brainstorming or "when is lunch?"

That is too AWESOME BP! Thank you

Looks like a great time! Thank you for the torturous insights... I've even tried tilting my monitor, but I still can't seem to get a proper look at the Stallion over your shoulder, but I'll keep trying!!!

Cheers

This is too funny. Looking forward to see the finished product for sure.....

Great great great

Always cool to see this stuff going through the process. Is that the Stallion in the first pic cleverly disguised with the black color against JPs black shirt with a very distant shot? hehehe

 

[dkannen]

you can see in the second to last pic-- the cutaway on that lower horn is GIGANTIC!

That 7-string cherry burst is BEAUTIFUL. No wonder John stopped by.

I can't wait to see what you guys are cooking for lunch

Thanks for the pics! Little off topic question who owns the body shape for the jp guitar?

 

[MrJJoncas]

Love those pics from the factory. It's like watching some mystical workshop, where elves make perfect instruments

I heard this John Petrucci guy is not a bad player, hope he manages to make a name for himself out there in the business....

 

[yellowv03]

That was an awesome post. Very cool stuff.

I only just noticed this so its probably old news, but the BFR body in the 5th pic is routed for the updated JPXI trem, are all JP's being updated with the new trem?
