All new for 2015 – the Sterling by Music Man JP100D-MKOA (Mahogany Koa Top). Combining the toneful properties of a Mahogany body with a beautiful Hawaiian Koa top, the JP100D-MKOA further raises the bar of Sterling By Music Man’s superiority in its price-point…
John Petrucci’s Signature Series Models bring an amazing design and playability unrivaled at their price-point. Based on the Ernie Ball Music Man “Ball Family Reserve” Model JP6.
The slightly larger body is capped with a highly figured, quilted maple top, and is available in five exquisite ‘burst’ finishes for 2015. By popular demand, the JP100D now comes factory equipped with John’s personal favorite: Made-in-USA DiMarzio LiquiFire™ and Crunch Lab pickups. Other features include high quality, die-cast, SBMM locking tuning machines, John’s “JP Shield” logo inlaid at the first fret and a premium SBMM (Sterling by Music Man) designed Modern Trem Bridge.
“It’s modelled off my Music Man BFD guitar. What we wanted to do with this guitar is to offer players the same design features and specs as my Music Man models but at a more affordable price. This is an award-winning guitar, is really beautiful, has my signature DiMarzio pickups, prem bridge, locking tuners. It’s an amazing sounding guitar, feels great, plays great. Check it out…” – John Petrucci
