Wow,this is a great year!First the Petrucci BFR Silverburst which i got 2 weeks ago and this week i just ordered a Petrucci BFR Koa from Pete DuBaldo over @ DuBaldo's Music
I can't wait!I was hanging with John and he told me he just got his Koa and he's loving the Ebony fretboard!I know he was on vacation with his family and he said he didn't get a chance to crank it up yet.I bought my Silverburst around and he played it.He actually wanted to lower the action and was asking around for a screwdriver hahahaha..
I actually had it setup like that because i myself don't play with the action so low.
I had him sign the back plate for me in Silver sharpie.after all it is his model
"one off"
enjoy the pic's

Hangin' with John Petrucci. We should all be so lucky! And owning a Silverburst with a KOA on the way?!! Double lucky! Congrats...

I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope I hope that they still have some KOA around when the left handed JP hits the market. I would give up a kidney for one of those. The pictures they've shown here in the forum are amazing and I would pay the huge price tag to get my hands on a left handed version of that lemme tell ya!

hey rich, you can't be any luckier than that! just the fact that you hang out with master JP!

Man, you're my hero! I wish I personally "knew" JP. (I've met him twice)

funny
the world could be turned upside down but musicians would still only care for music and their instruments
how fun it is to be a musician, no worries @ life.

congrats on the koa, might get me one after i'm finish with university... only 5 years to go

Hummm,5 years left?Bro by that time the Koa's will be long gone.these koa's are a limited run because Koa wood is like Banned or almost extinct or something along those lines.the ones lucky enough to get them as of now will probably keep them for life(I know i will)...
Good luck with school,thats important!
