So, thoughts on the Petrucci!

No picstory yet, but please be patient.

Recovered enough today to tune the new baby up, and give her a proper playing, like she truly deserves. What can I say? I've already played a JP7 before, so I thought I knew what to expect, but quite honestly, this one plays even better!

First of all, the D-Sonic sounds way better in Basswood than it does in the Mahogany of my K-7. Nowhere near as muddy. I still prefer the Evo as my perfect 7 string pickup, but I no longer dislike the DS7. The neck pickup sounds gorgeous aswell, very Air Norton-esque, but something better about it.

Oh, and may I just say that the pickup selector switch is in the perfect position? I can quite literally be playing away on the bridge pickup, and switch to neck without stopping. I love it! Beautiful neck, it's just gorgeous to play. Love the arm scoop aswell, it's so comfortable. The trem seems very stable. Ibanez Edge trems are my favourite, but this certainy has other non-locking trems beat by a mile.

The acoustic setting sounds great aswell.

My only criticism is the lower horn is kind of in the way when playing high up on the widdley widdley frets, but that's probably something I can work around or get used to.

Suffice to say, I'm well impressed.

find one, make a thread about it somewhere in the Site Info/News section, then wait for a mod to take notice.

The door swings both ways, we could reverse the particle flow through the gate. We'll cross the streams.
