Music Man JP6 John Petrucci Dargie Delight I 2007 with piezo

Very limited run of Music Man JP6 in Dargie Delight.  The name came from Scott Ball, who uses the pseudonym “Dargie” on the Ernie Ball Forums. Scott runs the MusicMan guitar operation in San Luis Obispo, California.

This finish was first shown at the 2006 NAMM show, and Sterling Ball (Scott’s dad) was quoted as saying that green guitars do not sell well. There was some conversation on the Ernie ball forums, and it was decided that these guitars and basses could be ordered through dealers during a brief (one or two week) order period during the summer of 2006.

Only 10 guitars like this (6 string JP with piezo) were ever made made.

The most distinguishable features are: martini olive green colour and Martini glass fretboard inlays. It makes a stunning looking instrument, catching the eye in the audience.
