Does it bother anyone else that the headstock logos don't match? Looks like it was just thrown together. If I was an endorsee having a guitar custom built for me by Ibanez, I'd at least have them make the logos match.

yeah i noticed that too. i also would have put the electric on the bottom so i could get better access. Go figure though.

Maybe he felt better off with a neck from one of his regular Ibanez guitars and performed a swap.

At least make the logos match? Does it really matter? You're supposed to play it, not admire it's logos. :P (Listen to Freak Kitchen "Logo".

Interesting, I'm sure he's been 'trying' to sell the double neck for a while? It does look wrong and thrown together without the matching headstock, but pretty cool. i wonder what DiMarzio's are on them, PAF Pro/HumBucker from hell, or Air Norton/Steves Special?

hmmmmm i kinda agree with TA. If i was paying that much for a guitar i would want the aesthetic features to be in line. Visual appeal is a must when you are throwing that kind of money around for an axe.

It looks like that used one spare neck that was near or something....
I don´t like it.

This guitar has been on Evilbay a couple of times too. It is quite expensive for what it is, but then again it was owned and played by the man himself! I believe that Petrucci got rid of it ages ago.

That's for sale on his site. It is the last remaining of his personal Ibanez's from when he switched to EBMM.

How come one of them doesn't have pickups?

It has piezo elements built into the bridge saddles.

is it really necessary to have a doubleneck for the piezos ? i thought you could have 2 separate outputs(one for normal pups and one for piezo). Why would you need a doubleneck then ?

The Euphor · #15 01-23-2005, 01:26 PM

Looks like the piezo part has thicker strings, and also bronze wound strings. Maybe there's a scale difference? Maybe he used them at the same time? I don't know, but I know I don't like the color.
