Sterling by Music Man JP157 John Petrucci Signature Sahara Burst
Product no: 9000-0023-7717 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

With 7 strings and 24 frets, the Sterling by Music Man JP157 offers you the possibility to play all of Dream Theater's riffs and solos. The body is based on the JP15 so excellent balance and optimal playing comfort are assured. African mahogany has been chosen for a well balanced and rich sound. The fretboard, which features JP Shield position markers, is made of maple which adds clarity and a nice bite.

JP157: a precision instrument

With years of experience on the stage and in the studio, John Petrucci knows exactly what he wants in an instrument. Stability is an absolute must, which is why the neck is bolted on to the body using five screws. For tuning stability and intonation a modern tremolo and locking tuners are used. The headstock has been designed so that the strings run straight through the string nut. A nice addition is the 12-decibel active volume boost that blast your solos straight through any mix.

John Petrucci: versatile guitar hero

John Petrucci is an American master guitarist, composer and producer. He best known as the founder and lead guitarist in the progressive rock metal band Dream Theater. His 'Rock Discipline' instructional video is the Bible for many aspiring guitarists. Petrucci's style is characterised by his technical skills and super fast alternate picking. He is also very keen on playing 7-string guitars. It helps him to write and provides a solid foundation for his dazzling solos.
