Ernie Ball Music Man JP15 6-String Guitar, Sahara Burst, Quilt Maple Top, Figured Maple Neck and Fretboard, DiMarzio Pickups

The latest JP in Music Man's lineup, the JP15 commemorates 15 years of Petrucci/Music Man collaboration. It's just like the JP13, but with an African Mahogany body and a gorgeous roasted birdseye maple neck. This guitar has that coveted Petrucci feel: The fretboard is perfectly consistent all the way up and down, and the strings practically play themselves. Bends are easy and intonate very well, and lightning fast runs come out cleanly and with plenty of articulation. The sound is clear and powerful, equally conducive to walls of distortion and crystal cleans. Upper register access is totally unrestricted thanks to a comfortable neck heel and smooth lower bout cut. This axe is perfect for the Petrucci fan or anyone who's looking for a high-end, high-octane shredder that'll hold up for lifetimes.

This Music Man JP15 is decked out with a great list of appointments that'll make this your go-to axe for every kind of playing. The body is African mahogany, and the quilt maple top provides some nice crispness in the high-end. The neck is gorgeous, lightning fast and smooth as can be. The 24 medium jumbo stainless steel frets will last longer than standard frets. Electronically, you'll find two DiMarzio Illuminator humbucking pickups. These beasts put out heavy, searing yet articulate and distinctly musical tone that'll let everyone hear the subtleties of your playing. There's also a custom John Petrucci Music Man Piezo floating tremolo, so you can get all of those authentically acoustic sounds you need without having to switch guitars. The Schaller M6-IND locking tuners will keep everything in tune, even after your most indulgent playing sessions. This is one of those "sell the rest of your collection" guitars - it has everything an electric guitarist could possibly want.
