My new guitar is in!!!

[b_t]

For those guitarists on this forum... I just picked up my new guitar, after spending about four weeks trying to find one with about three dozen calls to every music store in Western Canada and a few in the States.
Its an Ernie Ball Musicman John Petrucci 7 string. Mystic dream (color changing) finish, piezo pickups, sweet trem, birdseye maple neck... how about some pics instead?

Its a DiMarzio Air Norton in the neck and a Drop Sonic in the bridge. The piezos make it sound very much like an acoustic through my Mark IV.

Here is a video of John Petrucci playing this exact guitar (same finish and everything), except a 6 string only, at G3.

It sounds a little better when he plays it. Considering how much it cost, I'm going to have to practice a lot more so I can do it justice.

I had almost the exact model except mine was the wolf___ model. I really like the feel of the neck. I can not remember why I sold it though....

Anyway did you look at the Godins? Amazing. It is a little to late now but maybe for later...

Like the colour too...

Why the 7 string if you mind me askin?

I like the extra range a lot.. I learned on a 7 string so it is no big deal for me now. Plus the neck on the Petrucci is so small it feels like most 6s haha
