OLP John Petrucci – Junk? – Infinite Guitar https://www.infiniteguitar.com/topic/olp-john-petrucci-junk/feed Mon, 17 Mar 2025 04:03:08 +0000 https://bbpress.org/?v=2.6.12 en-US https://www.infiniteguitar.com/topic/olp-john-petrucci-junk#post-14281 <![CDATA[OLP John Petrucci – Junk?]]> https://www.infiniteguitar.com/topic/olp-john-petrucci-junk#post-14281 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 17:41:00 +0000 Eric Maldonado Hey Everyone!!

Ok, so in my local music shop the OLP JP is on sale for $250 flat NIB. Lately I’ve been wanting a EBMM JP but will never be able to afford it(since I’m only 14) so I heard the alternative was the OLP. Should I go for it? is it junk? is it a good guitar? What should I do?

If I do get it, I am planning to swap the p-ups for either a DiMarzio Steve’s Special for the bridge or a DiMarzio D-Sonic(bridge) & a DiMarzio Air Norton in the neck. As for the trem, I know it is a floating trem with no locking. What tuners do you guys recommend I get for “Locking Tuners”, because I am a pretty whammy crazy kind of guy!! LOL

Any help will be much appreciated, thank you,

Eric

Good luck.

I reccomed you ask sean conklin because he uses one.
For locking tuners I reccomed sparzel locking tuners, I am also whammy crazy and they work amazing 🙂
Also try checking on ebay for used EBMM JP guitars, maybe you can find a good deal.

Hope you can get a good guitar!!

Alejandro

Like Alejandro said, I use one myself and I’ve been very happy with it for a lot of years. I also used to own an EBMM Petrucci 7-string, and while the OLP isn’t quite up to par with that quality, it is still a very quality guitar and well worth the cheap price.

Get it! 🙂
