"The last different guitar is the Baritone, and this is actually the BFR model before we came out with the JP10s and JP11s. It's got the maple top on it and tobacco finish. It’s a longer scale, I believe its 27-inch, and this is tuned down to A. And again it's a custom gauged set, it's like .12 to .64, I think - 24 frets. John uses this on 'These Walls' which is tuned down to A. That's the only song he uses it on," says John Petrucci's guitar tech.
