This Music Man JP15 in Sahara Burst comes with a flame maple top, 6 strings and a roasted maple neck.
There are a number of reasons why this is one of the finest electric guitars money can buy. For a start though the workmanship on the Music Man JP15 is second to none. They have also used some of the finest tonewoods you can lay your hands on. This is exxentially a custom shop Ball Family Reserve instrument. Interestingly the African Mahogany body comes with a matte finish as opposed to the usual gloss. This can only enhance the tone and looks of the stunning Roasted Flame Maple top. The Sahara Burst looks incredible on the roasted maple flame top. Bolted onto the body is the pièce de résistance. A highly figured roasted maple neck and fingerboard. With its slender profile and super flat 17 inch radius it is something quite special. First introduced to the JP Series on the Neptune Blue PDN which came out in 2014. You can now get it as standard on this 2015 production model.
DiMarzio Illuminator humbucker pickups and Piezo Floating Tremolo.
Having all this stunning craftsmanship on a guitar is all well and good. It needs to be backed up with great hardware. Thankfully the Music Man JP15 Sahara Burst comes with just that. DiMarzio Illuminator pickups are fitted in the bridge and neck positions. Between these two pickups you can get a massive range of tones. It also comes with a Piezo pickup to give you acoustic guitar sounds at the flick of a switch. The floating tremolo works smoothly. It is stable. Especially with the locking tuners on board. This 6 string flame model is a brilliant take on the John Petrucci signature guitars.
