Where's the JPX7?

[That Guy]

I know they only just came out, but is there a JPX7 in existence or soon to be in existence?

If you search Youtube for videos of Dream Theater playing The Dance of Eternity or The Mirror/Lie on their recent South American tour, you can see him using it. It's looks pretty sweet.

They're up for order aren't they? I swear I heard Brad say he put one on order.

Yup. Brad's got one on order.

If the JPx6 is about 2,400 then how much is the JPx7?

 

[MrLovejoy]

Apparently the first batch will be done in about 3 weeks.

Yeah seeing as how EBMM guitars are made in batches, we can assume they haven't completed a batch yet because we haven't seen any in stores.

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Apparently the first batch will be done in about 3 weeks.

They will be shipping any day now, should be in stores starting later next week.

Unfortunately this about as good of a shot as we get:

Are you guys sure that isn't the Stealth BFR JP7 that JP is playing?

[Heeboja]

Now that you have said that, Phil, I think it is. After all He has used the stealth 7 a lot.

The Official John Petrucci Web Site

And I doubt he would use the JPX on that particular song since you need to throw the switch a lot. Easier to do with the 3-way. Not saying that He won't use the JPX on tour. Just on that particular song it is very unlikely (possible).

 

[the24thfret]

Hmmm maybe you guys are right...

 

[bkrumme]

That one looks like the stealth to me...and yes, Steve, I have JPX 7 on order.

I'm hoping it's just as cool as the JPX 6. If so, I'll have a new #1 7-string...and a new overall #1.

And then you'll give that Amethyst seven to me?

What a crowd!

 

[MSalonen]

Judging from the video, it looks more likely to be the Stealth 7, but it's really hard to say.

I would just imagine the JPx7 to be more shiny and purple. But Petrucci's He-Man arms are also kind of in the way.

 

[DaPatrooch]

I think it's the JPX7. There are lots of other videos that are closer up where you can see the 5-way

Um. No.
