I was curious so I went to GC and tried the Music Man John Petrucci BFR 6 KOA .
I fell in love with it when I saw it online. Such beautiful Koa wood.
But then I played it. I did not like the neck action at all. It was wide and thin. I much prefer the neck on my 2000 Jackson Soloist SL1.It plays like butter. This played like shit.
Its a shame, since the $3500 list price was reduced to $2399. It had been sitting in the store for a year. But even at that price I knew I wouldnt like playing it. And truthfully I just went there to see what all the fuss was about.
So Im just going to stick with my 2000 Jackson Soloist SL1, Suhr Classic Strat, Les Paul Traditional , James Tyler Variax and Esoterik DR3.
