Ernie Ball Music Man BFR JP15 Electric Guitar - Butterscotch Burl Reviews
Ernie Ball Music Man’s Ball Family Reserve series represents some of the finest instruments the brand offers, crafted from premium tonewoods and produced in exceptionally limited quantities. The Ernie Ball Music Man BFR JP15 exemplifies this dedication to 6-string excellence, offering a seriously upgraded spin on John Petrucci’s signature JP15 series. Fans of the standard JP15 will be pleased to hear that the BFR JP15 comes equipped with John’s hand-selected electronics configuration from the standard JP15, including hard-hitting DiMarzio Illuminator pickups, an active preamp system, and even a piezo pickup on the floating tremolo bridge for acoustic-like tones. However, the black limba body’s incredibly figured buckeye burl top pushes the BFR JP15 over the aesthetic edge. An ultra-high-performance neck rounds the BFR JP15 all out, sporting a Very Thin “C” roasted figured maple neck, 17-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard, and 24 heavy-duty stainless steel frets.

Terrible guitar. Terrible service.
I bought JP15 BFR 3 month ago. Guitar came with broken pot. Wrote back to Sweetwater, who offered to sent a new pot and fix it with local luthier. While I waiting for pot to came, metal part of bridge fall off. Wrote again, they sent a pair of screw to fix it.
When I took it to luthier, he said the pot replacement for jp15 is technically difficult and it's better to sent it back to factory. Contacted music man and sent a guitar, paid $200 for shipping(NY to Cali).
I spent last 3 month for: Waiting for pot, waiting for scree, took it for luthier and ridiculous amount of emailing to sweetwater and music man.
On top of that, sweetwater didn't reimburse shipping cost of guitar to be fixed (sending gift card for $100, probably they expect me to add some money a buy another guitar with them lol).
It's a custom shop guitar for $4000 after 55-point inspection lol. You can imaging what's going on with cheaper guitars.
Credits to Christian (sales engineer) and Joe (tech), who tried to help me. Huge dislike to customer support service.
