Player's Perspective

This JP in Music Man's Ball Family Reserve (BFR) lineup commemorates 15 years of Petrucci/Music Man collaboration. The JP15 is more than just a throwback to one of Petrucci's previous models. He's actually using this on tour alongside some of his Majesty guitars. It's a beautiful design that Music Man keeps finding ways to renovate while continuing to innovate. This 7-string beauty is a breeze to play, even if this is your first foray into extended ranged guitars.

This guitar has that coveted Petrucci feel: The fretboard is perfectly consistent all the way up and down, and the strings practically play themselves. Bends are easy and intonate very well, and lightning fast runs come out cleanly and with plenty of articulation. The sound is clear and powerful, equally conducive to walls of distortion and crystal cleans. Upper register access is totally unrestricted thanks to a comfortable neck heel and smooth lower bout cut.

This axe is perfect for the Petrucci fan or anyone who's looking for a high-end, high-octane shredder that'll hold up for lifetimes.
