Music Man John Petrucci Jp15 Bfr 7-String - Eminence Purple

Premium tonewoods deliver amazing sound and playability

This limited-run Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci signature model BFR JP15 7-string electric guitar features a resonant solid body 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 players for its silky-smooth feel. The ebony fingerboard sports a 17" radius with 24 medium jumbo stainless steel frets for effortless bends and high-speed runs.

Floating piezo tremolo and Schaller locking tuners for perfect pitch

The custom John Petrucci Ernie Ball Music Man piezo floating tremolo 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 BFR JP15 7-string, 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.
