Some are signature models from my guitar heros (Vai, Satriani, Derek Trucks, Petrucci, Pete Thorn, Keith Merrow, Malmsteen) and others I bought just because they're really nice. I couldn't afford even 1 really nice guitar when I was younger so I've been making up for that. The best part is that they all get played a lot.

    I had a chance to meet and chat with John a couple years ago and I can say with no hesitation that you held your composure much better than I did, lol. Excellent interview.
    I was lucky enough to be able to scoop up a 7-string version if the Purple Nebula last summer and good god, a sports car is definitely the right term for it. That thing is an extremely high performance machine and you can tell that years of innovation and several iterations have contributed towards its current status as one of the most iconic guitars out there. Honestly, I don't even feel qualified enough to be playing the damn thing, lmao.
    Super excited to be getting both a new LTE AND Dream Theater album this year. Those, in addition to John's new solo album and live DT DVD last year have made the last 12 months a VERY good time to be a Petrucci fan.
