Thursday is NGD

[rockerjt]

I am finally getting a Petrucci, and it is due in on Thursday. Man, I can't wait. Too bad Dubaldo's is on the East Coast and I am in California.

Will post pictures as soon as it arrives. This is going to be a long couple of days.

Great stuff - get those camera batteries all charged up

I just played live with my JP this weekend with keys, bass, drums & acoustic Taylor. I've had the guitar for less than a month. It really cut through the mix & had a nice chunky sound though by Mesa. I found I needed only a bit of compression & some delay. I got a pretty good strat sound with the middle position and the burn channel was perfect for the lead tone I needed.

I wish I could get more of a shimmering kind of clean out of it, but I think the basswood body has a lot to do with the chunky nature. I'm really glad I got the guitar. It was a closet queen with almost no fret wear & the guitar is 10 years old. I thought it was a great deal for $1000 (no piezo).

I am really excited by the piezo option. From all of the videos I have seen, it is a very convincing acoustic sound. With some of the songs I am writing/recording, that will end up being a very useful feature when we get out there and play live. Man, I can't wait!!!!! Have I said that before? LOL.

Hey Rockerjt, bring that baby out to a jam night so we can see it "live"!! Isn't a jam night up there around the Folsom area??

You know, I think so, although I can't remember where. I think it is in Del Paso Heights, but they may do one in Folsom at The Powerhouse Pub. I'll have to check.

Thanks Peter. Only 2 more days, supposed to arrive Thursday. UPS is so inconsistent out here though with delivery times. They almost always show up in the late afternoon, but my Mark 5 showed up early in the day when it arrived, so hopefully the JP will arrive early too.

Oh you will like it, yes you will, congrats and remember the no pics no guitar rule.

 

[rockerjt]

I am sure I will; it seems like such a well thought out instrument, plus the neck is smaller, which will work for me and my hands (no small hands jokes, LOL....the myth isn't true anyway).

I will definitely take some pictures, I just hope that everyone doesn't say, "Oh man, more pics of another Mystic Dream JP". I'll probably get some video going when I get my band back out there too.

2 more days.

No worries, that could never happen. We love these guitars and share in the joy when somebody gets a new one. Video would be great too when you can swing it.

Congrats on the new JP - I'm confident you'll love it. Mine has been outstanding, with the exception of one MAJOR problem: when I played it, for some reason, I wasn't able to immediately bust out sixteenth notes at 208 BPM. I mean, COME ON, the guitar has JP's name right on it! How does it not immediately enable me play just like my hero?

All kidding aside, my JP is one of the finest instruments I've ever owned. The piezo is awesome, and the whole guitar is just a joy to play.

Congrats and I am sure it will be everything you thought it would be, in my case sometimes some have been more than I expected! Boy does time go slow when you are waiting for that truck.

 

[rockerjt]

I have found that problem on every guitar I have ever owned. they are all defective!!!!! LOL.

One more day.

Man, you are telling me. I am constantly checking the tracking updates, just so I know it is on time. I need some meds.
