Im fucking stolked! I just ordered her today, its a present from my old man. I'll be getting her next weekend hopefully. anyways here are some pics and some of the more important specs: (if you're too lazy to read em, basically a petrucci musicman with piezo bridge, and matching headstock)

Weight: 7 pounds, 4 ounces - varies slightly
Wood: Basswood
Finish: High gloss polyester
Colors: Black Gloss
Bridge: Custom John Petrucci Music ManÂ® Tremolo, solid steel saddles
optional- piezo bridge (checkmark)
Headstock- Only 5-7/8" long
Frets 24 - High profile, wide
Wood Selected maple with rosewood fingerboard
Optional - Matching painted headstock available at an additional charge (checkmark)
Finish : Gunstock oil and hand-rubbed special wax blend
Tuners :Schaller M6-IND locking
Truss rod :Adjustable - no component or string removal
Attachment :5 bolts - perfect alignment with no shifting
Sculpted neck joint allows smooth access to higher frets

check out the piezo box.. 2 jacks, pretty cool

Well, better playing guitar than playing video games and eating chips or doing drugs.

i realized that I shred on a decent guitar.. I've had this 200 dollar strat for a while and while I've turned it into a raping and pillaging bastard, it's always been lumbering when it comes to action.. once I start getting my employee discount, I think I'm going to finally get something sleek and fast..

yeah, its also awesome, and i was very indecisive earlier on wheter to get the 6 or 7 string version,but the best choice for me was the 6 string. The 7 string was only a couple hundred dollars more expensive, but what I'm really looking for is a high end guitar that I can play for comfortability and great feel. And a fast neck is a must!

I'm pretty unhappy with the Gibson T-bird I bought, it's just not "my sound", I'm considering trading it on either a Musicman Stingray or a G&L 2000 series.

DeathSion · Post by **DeathSion** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 9:03 pm

how much?

Dimejandro · Post by **Dimejandro** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 9:08 pm

New and unplayed with the new pickup configuration for just under 1600. Its an ok deal haha.

DeathSion · Post by **DeathSion** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 9:11 pm

That's decent. I thought they wanted somewhere near a million dollars for that thing.

DeathSion · Post by **DeathSion** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 9:12 pm

I'm thinking about getting some new gear soon too.

Dimejandro · Post by **Dimejandro** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 9:38 pm

what you planning on getting bra??

DeathSion · Post by **DeathSion** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 10:07 pm

c-7 hellraiser....sick of tuning everything down...also sick of floyd roses. Also probably some rack gear. I need a more polished tone. The 5150 II sounds good..i'm running it through a mesa 4x12 slant..and only a dbx 131 eq...but it still isn't sound how i want it to...thinking about a sonic maximizer..or some sort of compressor..i also need something to get rid of the hiss sound when my volume on my guitar is down...maybe some tc electronic piece too..i have about 8 grand to play with right now..so i'm sure i'll get something cool.

Dimejandro · Post by **Dimejandro** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 11:33 pm

Awesome dude! yeah, i'm tired of tuning down with floyds too ( one of the reasons i didnt get a soloist or jem), it's cool to change tuning and not take 5 minutes that seem eternal. But anyway, sounds like you're gonna get some pretty nice equipment

DeathSion · Post by **DeathSion** » Thu Oct 05, 2006 8:53 pm

Yeah, maybe it will spark my interest to start playing all day again.

You'll enjoy that hellraiser my friend. It's a well built guitar. It has a unique feel to it because of the big frets, longer scale and thickness of the neck.

Grimm · Post by **Grimm** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 9:46 am

Very cool, I have the same guitar, enjoy.

Dimejandro · Post by **Dimejandro** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 3:35 pm

ooh noes! you've got the same guitar.. now i dont want it. nah J/k lol.

BassPhemy · Post by **BassPhemy** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 3:35 pm

How long until you get it?

Dimejandro · Post by **Dimejandro** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 3:45 pm

well I thought it was going to be tomorrow, but looks like i have to wait till next week. I called a couple days ago checking up on how the shipping turned out, and turns out the dumb fucks had already sold that specific guitar (i dont know how that happened, really fucking dumb on their part) to some other dude, but since I had already payed, I just went for the same guitar but in charcoal blue. This happened on wednesday, so I'm thinking it oughtta been shipped this week.

BassPhemy · Post by **BassPhemy** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 1:39 am

Erotomania is a awesome song.

frust76 · Post by **frust76** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 2:38 am

very very fucking cool....
how does it play without the floyd?!! does it get out of tune quick when you use the whammy bar?? probably not cause i never hear JP out of tune.....

and black is the most beautiful color a guitar can have...WAUW!

BassPhemy · Post by **BassPhemy** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 2:47 am

Black is a gay color.

frust76 · Post by **frust76** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 9:35 am
