All Hail the JP15 7 Quilt Top!

Designed to the specifications of Dream Theater's legendary axeman, the Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci JP15 7 is a superbly versatile solidbody electric guitar. From its lightweight, comfortably contoured African mahogany body and mouth-watering roasted quilted maple top to its lightning-fast roasted maple neck and fingerboard, Ernie Ball Music Man used only premium tonewoods. In the electronics department, a pair of DiMarzio Illuminators deliver everything from spanking cleans to full shred, while a JP custom piezo-equipped vibrato bridge gives you ultra-stable whammy action and glorious acoustic tones. If you're looking for a serious shred machine, then 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 shape made from premium African mahogany and topped by roasted quilted maple (a serious bit of eye candy, we might add). The extended forearm cut makes marathon gigs and sessions more confortable. 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 roasted maple 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 M7-IND locking tuners that make string changes a cinch, and it's adorned with pearl buttons that add a classy visual touch. Just insert the string, tighten the clamp screw, and tune up to pitch. This is a professional's axe.

JP 15 7 String Review

Insanely awesome guitar. I play a wide range of styles from jazz, hard rock, blues, progressive metal, and indie type of stuff from time to time. This guitar can handle anything I've throw at it. It is a very well versed instrument and while many may think that it is strictly just a metal/shred guitar, it is very great at fulfilling needs for other styles of music as well. The piezo included with this guitar gives the option of outstanding acoustic sounds and offers a wide variety of tonal possibilities. This is the first Ernie Ball guitar I have owned and I do not regret the purchase one bit. It does everything I need it to and then some. In addition, the feel of the maple neck and fingerboard is a joy/breeze to play. Plays as great as it sounds. I can not recommend this guitar enough. Even if I constructed my own custom model through a company, I don't think it would beat out the JP15. Amazing build quality, very versatile, sounds amazing, plays amazing. If you have the funds, pull the trigger. Love it.
