Well, this is the latest of four Balls I have purchased from Pete DuBaldo. Fresh out of the box, have not even plugged it in yet! Review to follow in a few hours. In the meantime, enjoy the pics! Thanks to Pete, he is the best I've dealt with.

That's what I'm saying. We Knuckleheads appreciate your willingness to sacrifice immediate playing for our photogenic pleasure. :D

Well, quick review from me. New neck profile is just amazing, no other way to describe it. I am a huge fan of stainless steel frets, I noticed the shine the moment I opened the case. Okay, this is where I sound stupid.....I had NO idea there was a push/pull on the tone control. Needless to say, that made me smile!:) I've had them all now, and I have to say this is my favorite Petrucci yet. I like it better than my old Blackburst BFR, sounds a little more open and aggressive to me. And, it looks great sitting on the stand next to it's little brother JPX. The Onyx finish is so nice in person, it surprised me the way Black Sugar did when I first saw it. Big Poppa, I thank you and your amazing company once again!! Also thanks to Pete, for teasing me just enough to make me pull the trigger on it!!

So. . . . . . . HOW DO YOU LIKE THE NECK?????????????? Please do tell!!!!

It's just insane, as if the regular profile was not awesome enough. When I first lifted it out of the case, I just shook my head at how crazy awesome it felt! So comfortable, and the frets just glisten off the ebony board. This guitar will be buried with me along side my Mark V!!
