This guitar is autographed by Dream Theater and was actually played by John Petrucci himself! Please send a message for that picture. I went to a VIP meet and greet on The Astonishing tour and he was nice enough to noodle on it. They did not allow cameras during the session so I have the photo with him that their PR person took with their DT backdrop with his hand on it. I have kept those same strings on the guitar! The band autographed the back plate which I have removed and stored in a zip loc in the case so it does not smudge. I had to have my appendix out so sadly this has to help pay the bills! The guitar plays awesome, everything works great. It comes with the dimarzio clip lock strap already attached, some Jazz 3 Petrucci signature picks and the original Majesty hard shell case. The grommet is missing from the volume knob (picture is in the gallery with the 3 knobs). I tried to unscrew it to take a look at the push push knob and the grommet split. I have it in the case but you can order a new one from Ernie Ball customer service if needed. Ships to Continental USA only.
