Electric guitar based on the John Petrucci Signature Series. The Sterling JP150 is a John Petrucci signature model and is based on the Music Man JP15. The guitar provides you with the same playing experience and tones that Petrucci demands from his own instruments. This model features the inclusion of an active 12db preamp and ensures that you'll have a wealth of sounds to play with. The core body wood of African mahogany is highly valued for its resonance and light weight, while the quilted maple top provides a stunning finish. The JP150 features a maple neck with 25,5“ scale that has been roasted to improve resonance, feel, and stability. Maple fretboard with 24 frets, 16“ radius and 42mm nut. The locking tuners alongside a modern floating tremolo bridge will add to this guitar's excellent tuning stability and intonation. Chrome black hardware. The JP150 features Sterling by Music Man designed pickups and an active electronic circuit (requiring 9v battery). This gives you a 12db boost, accessible via the volume control, and can be used to cut through the mix at the push of a button; ideal for those important solos. The combination of humbucking pickups and the active circuit ensures that, just like John Petrucci himself, you will be able to achieve a wide variety of tones whether that be distorted riffing, liquid smooth soloing, or crystal clean picking. Pickups: 2x Sterling humbucker. Controls: 1 Volume w/ Active 9V Powered 12dB Push-Push Boost, 1 tone, 3-way pickup selector. Includes heavy-padded gig bag. Colour: Neptune Blue
