NGD: JP6 BFR Solar Burst

[kestrou]

I'm figuring out that Pete DuBaldo is what some would call... an "enabler"!

I was in the market for a Petrucci (to get signed at tonight's seminar at Sweetwater - see you there, Big Poppa! ) and from chatting with Pete, he had such great pricing that I went upscale and got the BFR in Solar Burst. He was also very accommodating on the quick shipping I needed to have it in hand for the seminar.

I do kinda miss the BFR "badge" at the 12th fret - but am mighty impressed with it and *love* the piezo.

So forthwith at the pics of it - I'm using Pete's because his came out better than mine:

Happy happy boy here!

Congrats, and have fun tonight!!

That is incredible, Ive never played a jp of any sort but that is nice!

 

[kestrou]

You know what I notice most about playing it? How *easy* it is to bend the strings! Is it the floating bridge moving a little bit? I don't know - but this thing is BUTTER IN MY HANDS even compared to my Morse Blueburst!

[xjbebop]

yes...the trem will give a little...'assist' when bending. Plus, if it came with Cobalt string (most likely), I noticed that they feel a good bit more flexible as well.
Also, if they are 9's and you're used to 10's, that will add to that feeling...

Great looking guitar!

 

[kestrou]

Thanks guys!

My wife (who's also what you would call an "enabler" in guitar buying - and that's a good thing to have in a wife!) loves the top on it - she says it looks like "lava".

I can foresee more quilted maple in my future.
