John Petrucci another one of todays guitar heroes talks about his signature guitar with Ernieball Musicman, the BFR F1 Music Man Guitar. he first difference between the first John Petrucci signature guitar and the new BFR F1 is the wood. The first guitar had basswood body and maple neck. The new guitar has a combination of woods to make up the body of the guitar, it has an alder body with a maple top, and mahogony tone block in the middle, the neck is also mahogony, this combination gives the guitar beautiful sustain and warmth.
