George JV Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I like very much John Petrucci´s conception of control units on his guitars and I love the RG body shape but I didn´t want to have an orginal Ibanez JPM model so I´ve told to my friend (perfect guitar mechanic) all my whishes and he has produced this great guitar for me. Body - one piece basswood Neck - one piece maple with rosewood fingerboard Tremolo - Schaller Low Profile Pick-ups - R.M. Pickups (produced by my friend´s brother) We are working on another guitar... Petrucci inspired number two EBMM JPM7 so stay tuned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGGR Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Didn't you round off the AANJ, or is that similar like this on Petrucci model. And with controls like this, isn't tremolo bar not hitting the switch??? Or is that just the point, to have these as close like this. Great looking guitar, bro!!!

Sneft Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Thats a realy nice guitar you have there. i love the maple top. What kind of colours did you use ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George JV Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 --------> RGGR Original Ibanez AANJ is rounded but this neck joint is flat but that hasn´t any influence on perfect playability in high positions. And between the tremolo bar and the switcher is big space... Just the photography with bar which is "hitting the switch knob" looks strange --------> Sneft Guitar has flamed maple top as you can see and it´s painted transparent black colour with black sunburst. It was very big surprise that the final colour contour has become into little blue touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Nice work George, what is the name on the inlay, I think it's Macho, but it looks like Macko too. I love the tone that transparent black took, like pointsd out, in the case it even got a hint of blue. Bien! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George JV Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Tell your friend to tell us. What?? !!METAL MATT!! RGGR probably thought that I must ask my friend about making this finish (painting method) and post it here ...if I understand it right. (I´m from Czech Republic and I don´t think my english knowledge is excellent but it´s good cause I don´t need to use on-line dictionary ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
