🎸 HOLY GRAIL ALERT: 1998 Ibanez JPM90HAM John Petrucci Signature - Picasso Green MasterpieceThe Guitar That Dreams Are Made Of ✨

THIS IS IT. The unicorn. The white whale. The guitar that made every 90s shredder's heart skip a beat when Dream Theater ruled the prog metal universe. You're looking at one of the rarest production guitars ever made – a pristine 1998 JPM90HAM Hoshino 90th Anniversary model in the legendary John Petrucci Picasso Green finish.

🔥 Why This Guitar Is LEGENDARY:

• Only 450 EVER MADE worldwide – Built by FujiGen in Japan for Hoshino Gakki's 90th anniversary
• Last Petrucci Ibanez before he left for Music Man – The end of an era, making this historically significant
• Dan Lawrence's iconic Picasso artwork – The same artist who created the original JPM100 graphics, now layered over stunning flamed maple for a translucent effect that's pure visual poetry
• Original owner provenance – Complete with purchase receipt (how many 26-year-old guitars come with that?!)

🎯 Specs That Scream Perfection:

• Body: Premium American basswood with translucent flamed maple cap
• Neck: Bolt-on maple with the legendary JPM profile (thin, fast, addictive)
• Fingerboard: 24-fret ebony with offset dot markers
• Scale: 25.5" (perfect for that Dream Theater tension)
• Pickups: DiMarzio Air Norton (neck) & Steve's Special (bridge) – the exact combo that defined 90s prog tone
• Bridge: Lo-Pro Edge double-locking tremolo with locking nut
• Hardware: Gotoh SG38 tuners
• Weight: Approximately 7.5 lbs

🎵 The Sound That Changed Everything:

This is the guitar that helped define the Dream Theater sound during their golden era. That crystal-clear clean tone from the inner coil switching? The crushing distorted leads that cut through any mix? This JPM90HAM delivers it all. The unique wiring allows for that signature "chimey" middle position that John used extensively on classic DT albums.

💎 Condition & Authenticity:

Excellent overall condition with the character you'd expect from a 26-year-old professional instrument. Some aging on the bridge hardware adds to its vintage mojo, but everything else is stunning. The flamed maple top still POPS under light, and that Picasso graphic remains vibrant and mesmerizing.

COMPLETE PROVENANCE: Original purchase receipt included – try finding another vintage guitar with that level of documentation!

📈 Investment Grade Collectibility:

These JPM90HAMs have become serious collector pieces. With Petrucci's move to Music Man, this represents the final chapter of one of the most influential guitar partnerships in metal history. Recent market activity shows these guitars have "gone through the roof in recent years" – and for good reason.

🏆 Why Buy THIS One:

• Museum-quality provenance with original paperwork
• Exceptional flamed maple top – some of the best grain I've seen on a JPM90HAM
• No modifications – completely original and authentic
• Ready to play or display – equally at home on stage or in a collection

This isn't just a guitar – it's a piece of progressive metal history. Whether you're a Dream Theater devotee, a serious collector, or a player seeking that authentic 90s Petrucci tone, this JPM90HAM represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

When John Petrucci was reshaping the boundaries of what seven-string prog could be, this was the guitar that made it happen. Now it can be yours.

Serious inquiries only. No trades. Priced to move to the right collector who understands what they're looking at.
