Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci JP6 - Dragon Blood Quilt G98456
Immaculate Guitar Conjured Up by Petrucci Himself
As Dream Theater’s famed virtuoso guitarist, John Petrucci has been lighting up the stage and the studio for decades with his inimitable brand of axe-slinging pyrotechnics. Anyone familiar Petrucci’s oeuvre knows he is an unabashed tone chaser, crafting some of the tastiest guitar sounds of all time. So, when he partnered with Ernie Ball Music Man to create his signature series of guitars, Petrucci brought along a list of killer specs that would culminate in his (ahem) dream guitar. The Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci 6 is an immaculate instrument, with a contoured, maple-topped alder body and an ultrafast slim mahogany knock. Specially selected by Petrucci, two stellar DiMarzio humbucker pickups and a custom piezo vibrato bridge let you conjure up an endless array of brilliant tones. John Petrucci has stamped his name in the annals of legendary guitarists, and the Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci 6 puts a little of that Petrucci magic in your hands.
Astonishing tonal options
The Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci 6’s comfortably contoured alder body contains a mahogany tone block and is topped with maple — a unique tone cocktail that gives you wonderful warmth and resonance you wouldn’t expect in a solidbody, along with prodigious sustain. Two DiMarzio humbuckers — a LiquiFire neck pickup and a Crunch Lab bridge pickup — serve up everything from chiming cleans through a wide range of crunch and all the way to liquid gain. There’s very little this exquisite guitar can’t do for you.
