Sterling by Music Man JP150: Flamed and Roasted Maple
The Sterling by Music Man JP150 John Petrucci Signature is constructed using high quality ingredients. The strongly contoured body is made of mahogany with a top of flamed maple, whose intense grain is delicately highlighted by the elegant Island Burst finish. Five screws are used to attach the roasted maple neck, which provides superior playability thanks to its "D" profile. This neck has enormous stability due to the thermal treatment of the maple wood in a vacuum and is insensitive to climate fluctuations.
Two humbuckers with activee boost, high-quality hardware
The electric sound conversion of the Sterling by Music Man JP150 John Petrucci Signature electric guitar is handled by two hot-wound humbuckers, which skilfully stage fat riffs as well as complex solos with their tight sound, and harmoniously present chords and melodies in the clean channel. The active electronics enable the player to boost the output signal by 12 dB and to draw additional gain and volume levels from the guitar amp. Furthermore, this electric guitar is equipped with the Sterling Modern Tremolo, which in combination with the precise locking tuners allows for whammy bar applications without detuning.
