The Sterling by Music Man JP157 John Petrucci 7-string signature solidbody electric guitar is built in much the same manner as the top-shelf models JP regularly plays. The body of the guitar is made from African mahogany and a beautiful quilt top. The 24-fret neck is smooth-feeling maple and features Music Man's popular truss rod wheel adjustment, doing away with the need for screw drivers and specialized wrenches. And the modern tremolo bridge boasts back routing to give you down and up-trem options for squeals and dive-bombs.
Powerful electronicsJohn Petrucci's 7-string tones, whether clean or distorted, are always huge. The humbuckers in the JP157 achieve this by being custom designed by Music Man to nail that character.

Sweetwater Dream Theater fans can't believe how close this 7-string gets to JP's Music Man signature tones.
