Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe John Petrucci Music Man Range
The Sterling by Music Man John Petrucci JP150 is based on the Music Man JP family of instruments, created for the uncompromising progressive metal playing of John Petrucci. Crafted in Indonesia, the Sterling JP150 offers players the same thoughtful design touches, versatile tones, and effortless playability of the Music Man JP guitars, but at a more accessible price-point for discerning players. This guitar is a professional instrument in its own right and would be the ideal studio or live performance tool for modern guitarists.
Quality Tonewoods with Roasted Maple Neck
A mahogany body gives the JP150 a warm and resonant tone with great sustain. The body is topped with a flame maple veneer for a classy aesthetic that will stand out on any stage. The neck and fingerboard are crafted from roasted maple which gives enhanced stability, resonance, and a wonderfully smooth playing feel - just like a guitar that's already been 'played-in'.
Effortless Playability
The JP150 features smooth body contours to sit comfortably against the body whether stood up or sat down. The deep cutaways and low-profile 5-bolt neck joint enable unhindered access to the top-frets, so you'll have no problems with high-octane soloing right at the top of the neck. The 24 medium jumbo frets are mounted with a 16'' radius which is very flat and gives superb balance when crossing the strings - perfect for fast-picked runs and string-skipping. Every feature is crafted to enable the most complex of techniques, so you'll be sweeping, string-skipping, alternate picking, and playing legato with ease.
Versatile Dual Humbucker Tones
Two humbuckers give the JP150 a powerful output that is perfect for modern progressive metal. The volume control features an additional push-push 12dB boost, giving you an alternate solo level at the push of a button. The 3-way switch and volume/tone controls provides a simple yet effective way to sculpt your sound.
Stable Hardware
The JP150 features a modern 2-point tremolo with 6 individual saddles for the perfect adjustment of string action and intonation. The tremolo gives a smooth action for pitch-shifting effects, supported by locking tuners that guarantee tuning stability. With the strong and stable 5-bolt neck joint, roasted maple neck, and locking tuners, the JP150 is a guitar you can rely on to remain in tune during long sessions, whether in the studio or on stage.
