  The Sorrow's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  See previous opinions, or official site Musicman at: http://www.music-man.com/instruments/guitars/john-petrucci.html.

  Utilization

  Little review of the head to the "feet". I can already tell you that for the price, you do not care about you, the guitar is thought for maximum user comfort.
  
  The guitar is equipped with mechanical lock, if you've never used, is an accessory which has been very difficult to happen after trying it. The principle is that the mechanical features a knob that allows you to tighten the rope once in position, thereby avoiding the little annoyances that occur regularly such as "shit, I folded the rope but it moved anyway."
  
  
  
  The saddle has no strings but blocks of a system to Musicman ... I found this little accessory that's so convenient, I was very disappointed not to find it here. The seller assured me quickly by pressing the vibrato arm, to the point of totally losing their tension in the strings, without exaggerated result: perfectly tuned, you scratch an agreement and we appreciate their accuracy. Bluffing.
  
  
  
  I'm quite a fan of the team that handles wizzard Ibanez prestige, indeed I have one, it's true that it slides very easily. I'm "sorry" to say they were beaten by the neck of this guitar: a hair coarser, better slides, access to acute flawless, the guitar comes with an action (string height over the button on the handle) ... very low I do not know what is above "highway", saying it is a race circuit!
  
  
  
  The body has a screwing to the forearm, again it's a small thing, but it's so convenient! Completed fatigue, however small it may be, whether sitting or standing position, your forearm is literally "raised" on the body, you just have to play your wrist. Obviously it is not heavy, since it is rather thin, but enough so that the guitar does not address the side of the head.
  
  Another small detail that kills the controls are equipped with small "rings" rubber for easy grip!
  
  IN BRIEF: This is the Rolls Royce. The ultimate in comfort, everything is thought up this concept in detail, you can play for hours without getting tired! You just think to hydrate and eat from time to time.

  Sounds

  I'm not really eclectic, I play almost exclusively metal (Slayer, Metallica, Cannibal Corpse, Immolation, Morbid Angel, Darkthrone ...) although I sometimes go in clean and I do not spit on versatile instruments, as the quality is by appointment. Typically, a guitar that excels in its light will be some weaknesses in distortion and vice versa. Here it is not the case. FYI, I tested the guitar on a Mesa Dual Rectifier, without effect.
  
  
  
  In his clear, the neck position is the avalanche of midrange and bass, the warm sound par excellence in the bridge position is more crystalline, more mids and high mids, and there you can go to the clacking sounds .
  
  With distortion, the neck position, we find the personality of the microphone, and Sharpness for solos and in the bridge position is immediately much more manly, the microphone sound crazy, you can tackle any style muscular just playing a bit on the tone knob.
  
  
  
  Whether you are a bright or saturated, or easel in the neck position, one thing to remember about these microphones: they are very respectful way you play the instrument. You can literally come out of completely different sounds simply by attacking the strings softly as a bully or thick, it's really halucinant! Difficult to dislike anything in this guitar: it is able to address all your little game to be adapted.

  Overall Opinion

  I tested it in a store, for a future purchase. I tried many other top models before trying it, including Gibson Les Paul Custom, a Jackson RR1, a PRS Custom 24 and an ESP M-II. I think quite honestly it beats them all soundly, and I was skeptical when the ability to get out of this guitar sounds extreme death metal vein in the U.S., I was wrong and that is what m has conquered, and the fact that it may also cleans out the rich.
  
  
  
  I think it's a guitar "luxury" thinking in every detail for the comfort of your playing. Obviously you have to put the price, I will buy version 7 ropes around 3600 € (public price), but I think you're not stolen, or at least not much when compared to more expensive guitars and who have done a much worse effect (I think especially at the Gibson LP Custom). So it's a quality / price ratio "copy".

  MusicMan John Petrucci worked with him to build the instrument suitable IDAL his incredible talent and to satisfy his fans and other musicians rvant an instrument out of the beaten path and offering something incredible and never seen .
  
  
  
  The bet is Russia, because we have an instrument that provides a playing position idalie plan for fast and prcis handle thanks to the proportions and placement really Excellent.
  
  The body and he even built to the same principle. A perfectly made notches allows you to rest your forearm and your hand to the right place at the top ropes.

  Characteristics

  Manufacturing States,
  
  new config with 2 micro with a custom DiMarzio Petrucci and DSonic in easel.
  
  Volume, Tone.
  
  
  
  edit of 07/11/2010: I just change the Tone potentiomtre of a push-pull, has increased the possibilities as in the down position, you end up with double handle - 2 double set - double easel, and in high position, we simply run, 2 singles together, and simple bridge. cost me a pices of 15 and one hour of work. for those that have INTERESTED, I used the example here:

  Utilization

  The neck is fabulous! I do not know any more comfortable, apart from those of other musicman all who are truly excellent.
  
  CHAC is very easy to acute, it is all lgre and small, so super comfortable.
  
  The best sound, whatever the type of sound has been sought-direct.

  Sounds

  You can do anything with this guitar. It suits me perfectly. Imagine a Start, a Les Paul, a PRS, and Ibanez, runit in one guitar. We can approach everything with a perfectly well Defines, lens, heavy, thin, powerful ... short, the best in all areas!
  
  I use a POD X3 Live, a branch of 2 * 12 cabinet with vintage 30 clestion
  
  I love all the sounds, and even jazz it excels.
  
  
  
  edit of 07/11/2010: potentiomtre with the change is impressive as the guitar becomes a formidable, high position, we end up with a sound trstlcaster (IDAL to handle trs slamming blues and bridge for rhythm). in the down position, the middle position really remember a les paul, with a full and sufficient crystalline ... short, I'm really pleased with this change.
  
  
  
  I use it for several months with a mesa boogie F30 is really stunning, sounds are transcribed Fidler, see sublimated by the amp. The combination Petrucci / Mesa boogie, it's not thundering, but it works perfectly ...

  Overall Opinion

  I just have it, I think I tried all the guitars I have between 1000 and 3000.
  
  
  
  to dpart, j'hsitait between a PRS CUSTOM 22, a layer (clapton, jeff beck ...), a peavey van halen, and finally, I tried the one thinking it n ' a silent guitar nag and surprise, I had everything I loved in the l. and yet I play all styles, blues, rock, metal ...
  
  
  
  I got as a gift, thank you my wife CHRI, and had 950 of the United States .... a quality report forcment amazing prices! the price for this was just a basic strat France. A rant against the passage importers in France, they hallucinate price !!!!!!
  
  
  
  In any case, this guitar is perfect for me, and all the better if few people achte, it remains an exceptional scratch all white beaks do not show off ... Moreover, I love her look wise with his hyper potential nag!

  Fitz 5's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  It is a pertrucci of 2002 so the pearl redburst is different (I think best)

  Utilization

  The handle is full of birdeye is very beautiful I do not like the sleeves ibanez but spent 2 minutes I felt a autoroutre home, ergonomics is perfect.

  Sounds

  His side I found myself an hour to play its crystal clear is the 3-position are fabulous with a more intermediate position for the very stratisante. In satruré Panard is the body's smooth even on my Vox AD-15 AC rings of hell.

  Overall Opinion

  I just paid € 1400 to receive the used, thus necessarily great value for money

  Guizmau's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  John Petrucci, made in San Luis Obispo, California
  
  24 frets, 2 humbuckers Di Marzio humbuckers John Petrucci.
  
  Special easel John Petrucci musicman under license.
  
  The position of the knobs is very well thought out, the selector of a little less ...

  Utilization

  The neck is perfect, we slip it without problem ... a marvel.
  
  on the other hand IS NOT painted, it requires attention and maintenance ..
  
  The sculpted heel is no problem for acute CCAA
  
  The ergonomics are perfect, no imbalance, the location for the forearm is a good idea ... John Petrucci is like it ...
  
  Obviously, for those who listen to Dream Theater, this guitar is mostly tour big sound, this does not have very nice clean sounds ... it is a little light for the old blues and jazz on the other hand ...

  Sounds

  I play a little bit of everything, especially rock and blues and is very versatile ... nothing to say a Musicman never used to give us some imperfections
  
  I play it with a Crate BV300HB, it is perfect ... I have all the sounds I want with. It is of course perfectly with mesa boogie.
  
  Once again, just for a little jazz and old blues ... but I see more blues rock metal, I have everything I want. The clean sound is very good too.

  Overall Opinion

  I've had eight months and is perfect for me.
  
  I love the sound, design (redburst pearl finish), and especially the manche.J love it just under the selector too small for my liking and too close to hand.
  
  I tried the fender States, the gibson, and a prs musicman on before buying. I hesitated between luke, the Petrucci and a PRS Custom ...
  
  € 2375 for a perfect (without head but with piezo and matching inlay), the price / quality ratio is good ... but if you have the opportunity to go to the usa buy the bottom, it costs € 900 less .
  
  This choice I would do without hesitation, and I would sound good experience in musicman, but by buying directly in California next time ...

  Fabio's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  I was lucky and happiness of some length might try this little gem from home MusicMan:
  
  A model Signature John Petrucci,: =)
  
  So is the bte manufactures in California, it says above, p, the finish is irrprochable.
  
  The one I tried silent "full options" head painted in the same tone "mystic dream" that the body (great pop !!!), "JP" on the first box, piezo pickup ...
  
  
  
  In terms of equipment:
  
  - 2 humbucking Di Marzio (models spciaux JP)
  
  - Piezo pickup easel
  
  - 2 output jack (normal / piezo)
  
  - 3 position selector, volume and tone
  
  - Selector humbucking / piezo 3 positions
  
  - Vibrato MusicMan Petrucci model
  
  - Schaller locking mcaniques

  Utilization

  The handle is a marvel! Just to lay hands on to feel ... home!
  
  The profile is the Ibanez style, fairly flat and very thin. The lack of further increase the coating slip.
  
  24 jumbo frets on a rosewood in touch, here goes well.
  
  CHAC is to treble the trs ais dcoupe particulire infrieure horn, and the rounded heel.
  
  
  
  The ergonomics are very good, dcoupes horns and the curvature of the table are not for nothing.
  
  The guitar is very well balance.
  
  
  
  The vibrato MusicMan walking pretty good (and exchange Floyd ...), but in my opinion, it is not very suitable for such Brutos Steve Vai ...

  Sounds

  For sound: Well, Dream Theater Listen and you will see what can give a, =)
  
  
  
  The two DiMarzio humbucking fulfill their duty very well: the crunch of mtal, the sound is very prcis,
  
  a does not drool. As for her ... he even difficult to say, the seller forced me on a branch of JP Line6 HD 147 ... a help!, but does not aim! Anyway, no worries, a ring (er. .. a ring rather mtal even when, =)).
  
  
  
  Micro Piezo: while the great slap!
  
  The JP branch Live mix table, exit to a pair of MSP5: these are not notes coming out of HP, it's crystal! The sound is pure prcis, a "slap" as an acoustic!
  
  Arpge any, any chord sounds! It's beautiful!

  Overall Opinion

  This guitar is simply outstanding!!
  
  It is full of discoveries and more clever, and we feel that Petrucci has invested in this MODEL:
  
  - The hollows in the table used to position the forearm
  
  - The knobs are shaped vaguely conical and surrounded by a band of grooved rubber.
  
  the volume knob as prs microphones placed very ... easy on the little finger with violoning!
  
  - The handle without varnish (a real highway shredder!), Etc, etc. ....
  
  
  
  In short, everything is perfect on this guitar ....
  
  Oh yes, the price ... Aaaaargh!! € 3350 for this MODEL .... but hey, perfection is paid: /
  
  MusicMan and in, many things are options, we can have a model without John Petrucci piezo, without heads and painted without inlays JP button for about € 2600 ...
  
  
  
  Conclusion: Put me in the same 7-string, and will ;=)))

  Macoalani's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  This is a guitar manufacturer aus USA, 24 frets, 2 humbuckers Di Marzio Custom Designed specially for crs Petrucci (he's actually a Steve's Special and Air Norton about a few changes ...)
  
  The block bridge / vibrato is new from MusicMan (cr to JP) and is fitted with sensors active piezos to move closer to electro sound ..
  
  Volume and Tone for humbuckers, one volume and three screws for legalization piezos (they are on the back of the instrument)
  
  A slecteur 3 positions at the top of the body to switch from humbuckers to piezos, or the CONTRL 2 at the same time, and another 3 positions is slecteur ddi to DiMarzio.
  
  The handle is in Saddle speckled "bird's eye", screwed to the basswood body of Amrique.
  
  The fingerboard is rosewood and the initials "JP" are on THE FIRST box.
  
  The guitar team of two outputs: one for single piezo, and the other for micro magntiques stro.

  Utilization

  Time to get srieuses now:
  
  
  
  Ds the opening of the tui one is impressed by its majestic appearance (mine possde a sublime finish "Black Sparkle", translation: black straw!)
  
  The grip is not bad either, is the dcoupe trs dfonce ergonomic and comfort for the forearm is very well thought! ..
  
  
  
  The handle is unique: in fact it is wide and fairly flat, but pais the handle of a Ibanez Jem example (I dtest ...).. Basically should be more large fingers ( was lucky, as I do! h. h). The action of the strings is perfect, neither too high nor too low, leaving the strings vibrate well while allowing good dplacements of more intonation is perfect and all the notes sound gnialement! It's really high-end rev ..
  
  Namely also: the back of the neck is not varnished, the fast left hand is thereby increased, cool, right?

  Sounds

  As for the sound, wow, what about? In his clear, the position of intermdiaire slecteur is snapping just right, great for funk and blues, beautiful ring fingers to arpges trs well, and the attacks of free m diator. The neck pickup is usable for beautiful phrass jazz, and playing with the knob of tonality can be REALLY crdible more than a standard jazz .. The bridge pickup sounds shrill in her clear, but that's normal, it is not for the a..
  
  
  
  The crunch sounds are cool, but not unusual, roughly, if you plan to get the grain tlcaster in a crunch, you're wrong! But that's all ... even when an honorable
  
  
  
  As against its saturated ..... my friends is the fte of the slip! The neck pickup is a velvety poustouflant! It's round, it's hot, while preserving articulation and finesse .... it's all good!
  
  As for the bridge pickup (which is mounted closer to the strings than the neck pickup), and although it's a real fuse! It has a high output and harmonics come out beautifully! It seems to be tailor-made for virtuoso solos, in a word: DEADLY!
  
  
  
  The piezos are really impressive about them: with a supper of rverb and delay, we believe it! But must, shuffled the rest of the two sources (piezos & Di Marzio): it is simply amazing ... sound ... rve

  Overall Opinion

  I use this guitar for The beginning of May 2003, she trs CHRE course, but it is REALLY an instrument rve ... However it is worth a try before because it is not just adapt the templates (and all portfolios ...)
  
  In résumé if you like rock muscle and all types of hard / mtal, and that You are not foreigners to other less aggressive styles, try the and see!
