Thank you John Petrucci and Ernie Ball

Again, I am reminded of what an amazing place this forum is and what amazing artists choose EBMM (and vice versa).

Play it with love, Paul.

Congratulations!

Very Nice of Mr. Petrucci and Derek. I would have been flippin happy if that happened to me.

Very Nice Surprise!

Probably the best story I have ever heard.

Hope you play the hell out of it Paul!

Great story and great guitar. I have a few BFR's coming in for customers, I should have ordered one for myself....

Thanks very much for all of the comments. I'm still just soaking it in. I've just never been given anything like this. I feel like a winner on a gameshow or something, lol. It's a beauty and it sounds great, although I was only able to play it through a V-amp at work. Not exactly your tones of choice. But I hope to fire it up through the big rig today because it seems to really sing.

I'll tell you, something that is made for you like this means so much more than cash or just some random gift. It's just a really thoughtful gesture and I'm going to get tons of usage out of it. Thanks guys.

Wow very nice.

I'm sitting here waiting for my UPS guy to drop mine off... maybe today will be the day.

Paul, you're going to have to change your signature now to add that beauty to the family!

Congratulations on your reward for the hard work you've put in on the JP site.

Kudos also to John for such a classy gesture - not only hooking you up, but personally customizing the finish, and tracking the shipment. He's quite the gentleman - both in person (having met him once before) and for things like this.

Enjoy your new axe... it's one of the finest I've ever seen!

 

[GuitarHack]

That is too cool...classy people, class guitar. Congrats!

 

[Paul Warren]

Holy moly. I just did a test drive on my Mesa rig. This thing sounds phenomenal!! Beautiful well balanced tones were just jumping out at me. And the low end is awesome! This guitar sounds so much meatier than anything else I've got. And the cleans - they just sparkle. This is just crazy good. I didn't know what I was missing out on, heh heh.

Amen, Paul.

Some things mean more than you could ever explain.

Unlike me, however, I'm sure you deserved it!

Stunning

That is absolutely incredible! Props to JP and EBMM for having you receive this beautiful guitar! I am now jealous of both your guitars

What kind of Mesa d'you have?
