Left handed John Petruccis now available!

[leftyguitarblue]

Hey Time and Scott, who did you guys order your JP's from?

I am getting mine through Pete

Pete Dubaldo! He's a great dealer by reputation and i see it already with my first dealings with him. He is only a state away from me, I may have to drive up to get it when it comes in!!

Glad to hear about your Mystic Dream choice. Thats just classic Petrucci to me. Gotta get that one. Then? who knows...but the option to get it is there. yes!!!!

Bahama Blue? Really? That's a new one. Not one lefty has made mention of wanting one of them so way to go. It's good that we're branching out and not all getting the same one. It will make for more pictures. Here's a quick rundown of who you should know... and I'm not trying to piss people off... this is just who I know.

BP (Big Poppa) - Sterling Ball. Owner of company.
Dargin - Scott Ball. Son of owner.
Beth Johnson - Customer Service with company/general ass-kicker.
A.J., Drewbixcubed, Jodizzle - all employed by company (never spoke with them)

Some other forum people you will read a lot about:

LeftyGuitarBlue - Scott. My brother in arms. I think Dire Straits made an album for us.
Robelinda - Rob from down unda. Loves ALs and all things single coil.
PeteDuBaldo - Pete from CT. The most badass MM dealer in all the land.
NickDuBaldo - Nick from CT. Brother to most badass dealer, also lefty not by choice.

To meet all our other left handed brethren, go check out the social group. You should have an invite after I finish typing this. Also, there's tons of great people on this site. It's just really early and a stupid dream woke me up. I'm now sitting online doing this instead of sleeping. Excuse the ignorance.

Oh yeah! I'm Tim by the way. The "jimmy-jengas" thing started as a screen name my friend Matt picked out for me back when I signed up. I was talking about kicking a guy in the "jimmy-jengas" and it just stuck. You;ll see my pop up in the Dr. Z forums every now and again as well.

Hopefully this answers some questions.

Thank bro, appreciate the love! (not in that way, sicko)

Hello everyone! Just heard the news a couple of days ago. I...I still can't believe this is happening. I'm still in awe and cannot wait to get mine. Forgive me for the noobishness for I just want to join the family! I never kept up with the possibility of a lefty JP because I remember it being repeatedly drilled into my head that it was never gonna happen.

Heh...I always referred to it as 'The Curse' (being left-handed). The production of southie JPs should mend this ailment, however. Just kidding, I wouldn't trade being a lefty for anything in the world...but this news is certainly the best I've heard in a long time.

Trying to catch up on all the reading but I just wanted to officially get in here. I come here from the ESP and Jackson families.

Welcome to the forums. You've joined on a great day!!! Stick around, lots of great people here. Lots of fun.

I know this is my 4th post in a row, but i was looking on the web and BassCentral.com and DrumcityGuitarland.com have orders placed already and have announcements on their websites about the lefty JP's already. This is gonna be big. It's gonna change the left handed guitar buying market. NICE!!!

 

[TimSz]

I do believe I predicted that this is going to be the biggest selling left handed guitar of all time. Still that only accounts for a small number, but talk about a huge feat to take on.

I agree 100% brutha.

 

[edrod]

I will place my order tomorrow morning

 

[TimSz]

Good on you. I wonder if anyone else is going to order a lefty KOA. I'd sure like to be the only one in existence with one. How badass would that be?

 

[kissmyaxe]

well I would get a Koa since it's such a limited run and looks killer, but I really can't see me buying a JP after wanting one for all these years only to get a painted neck, one day I bet they'll have some special BFR run with an unfinished neck and then there will be the perfect guitar and I'll be glad I waited. I bet a few other dealers are gonna order the KOA, my geuss is you willl end up with 1 out of 5. btw Still waiting to hear back from Beth about the Sterling Silver!

 

[edrod]

That would be great Tim, I have a feeling you will be the only one with a KOA (for awhile).

Scott ruined it for me

jk Scott

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Oh man, that'd be so badass. Anyways, I ordered mine through my work. I work at a guitar store up in Canada here. If I lived in the US, I would absolutely go through Pete. That guy is what we affectionately call "the tits".

You sure have some strange sayings up North...

 

[dmullen]

From the Urban Dictionary....

The Tits
A description of somthing you show great liking to, or greatly apreciate...

Somewhat of a new way of saying ,"The ****/ The Shiznit," but not as overrated and annoying as the two.

 

[TimSz]

I can't believe you've never heard someone affectionately call someone else "The tits". Sheesh. Maybe we're not the weirdos up here, but you're the sheltered ones down there. You need to check up on the urban dictionary more, yo. Hahahaha.

 

[leftyguitarblue]

That would be great Tim, I have a feeling you will be the only one with a KOA (for awhile).

Scott ruined it for me

jk Scott

haha, the best ruining ever!!!

Scott:"Ed you HAVE to get the left handed mystic dream JP"
Ed: "nooooooooooooooo!!!!, well ok."

There are worse things.

 

[NickZ]

So are the ones @ the beginning of the thread up for grabs or are they all spoken for?

 

[TimSz]

As of Thursday, the tobacco one was up for grabs but i don't know now. Email Beth tomorrow and she'll keep you in the know.

 

[edrod]

I just ordered mine, I can't wait.

 

[Hawkevil]

ARGH! I just found out, lol.

How do I go about ordering one of these in the U.K?

What is the price for a regular JP6 too?

 

[leftyguitarblue]

I talked to Jason at Drumcityguitarland.com and he has 12 left handed Petrucci's on order for January!!! You can go there now to see a description of 3 of them. 6 strings, 7 strings, BFR's. oh my!!!!!

 

[Dargin]

I'll let you guys know the status of the three I posted tomorrow.
