Cheers fella. It is a beautiful instrument, sounds perfect and the piezo really works well too. I had a Parker Deluxe with a piezo and it never sounded anywhere as good as this does. I forgot to put in the original post that this model has the push/pull pot on the tone to engage both humbuckers at once.
So it'll do Bridge, Neck, both inner coils split and both humbuckers. Plus you can blend the piezo in to any of these combinations and to cap it all you can run it in either stereo or separate the mag and the piezo outputs.
I have a custom made pedal (made out of an old overdrive pedal) for using it in stereo which I was given when I bought the guitar which I would include with the guitar as well.
Honestly if the neck had a bit more depth then this would be staying with me as it sounds and plays phenomenally. A very versatile guitar with a simple control layout, so very flexible.

Sounds great! The petrucci is the only musicman I've ever had gas for. And this one is in one of my favorite colors! (And I like dings on solid colors. Don't know why)
A couple of pics of the back, not taken by me but by the previous owner. They are so light its hard to capture without daylight, so I have used his and as you can see they are super feint.
I've had a lot of interest in all three guitars.
The score is this. I'm in no real rush to part with any of them, so sending me a low ball offer isn't going to work as I'm in no hurry to part with any of them.
Not interested in anything with a thin neck as these three already more than cover that angle
I would prefer a trade on the JP6 as I'm looking for something along the lines of a Custom Shop Strat or similar.
However cash is king as they say.
I know the market is slow and pointing that out isn't going to make me give you the guitar for half what I am asking.
Serious enquiries appreciated and I will of course try and answer all questions as quickly as possible.
One of which was, "What pickups are in these guitars?"
ESP Eclipse has an EMG 81 & EMG 60
Ibanez RG560 I believe it is a DiMarzio ToneZone in the bridge and stock Ibanez single coils in the middle and neck positions.
Music Man JP6 is a 2006 model so they had DiMarzio Petrucci modded Air Norton & Steve's Special which were his preferred pickup combination that year. They have been wired to BFR specs so a push pull on tone pot to activate both full 'buckers at once.
Lots of interesting offers have come my way, but nothing yet that fits the bill really.
Would possibly accept a lower value guitar plus cash my way. So if you have something in mind then PM me and let me know what you are proposing.
Have popped these guitars up on another couple of guitar sites as well, but will not be putting them on Ebay as am in no rush to a deal and would rather wait for the right offer(s) to come along.
If you need any more photos just ask and I can always add them to this thread.
