Designed to Exceed a Master's Expectations

Designed to the specifications of Dream Theater's legendary axeman, the Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci JP15 7 is a superbly versatile electric guitar. From its lightweight, comfortably contoured okoume body and gorgeous flame maple top to its lightning-fast roasted maple neck, Ernie Ball Music Man shapes these premium tonewoods with undeniable expertise. In the electronics department, a pair of DiMarzio Illuminators delivers everything from spanking cleans to full metal fury, while a JP custom piezo-equipped vibrato bridge delivers ultra-stable whammy action and glorious acoustic tones. If you're a technical player searching for an exceptional instrument, the Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci JP15 7 is for you.

Premium tonewoods deliver amazing sound and playability

The Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci signature model JP15 7 electric guitar features a resonant solidbody made from premium African mahogany, topped with flame maple. The extended forearm cut makes marathon gigs and sessions more comfortable. The slim roasted maple neck is alarmingly fast and is finished with a special blend of gunstock oil and wax — a favorite among Sweetwater players for its silky-smooth feel. The fingerboard sports a 17" radius with 24 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets for effortless bends and high-speed runs.

Floating piezo vibrato and Schaller locking tuners for perfect pitch

The custom John Petrucci Ernie Ball Music Man Piezo floating vibrato is constructed of chrome-plated hardened steel with stainless steel saddles. With the flick of a switch, you'll be able to get great-sounding acoustic tones from your JP15 7, making this one of the most versatile guitars around. The headstock is fitted with Schaller M6-IND locking tuners that make string changing a cinch, and it is adorned with pearl buttons that add a classy visual touch. Insert the string, tighten the clamp screw, and tune up to pitch. This is a professional's guitar.
