Music Man USA John Petrucci JPX BX - Barolo
Electric guitar
Sought-after original version with 'Ball Family Reserve' inlay in the 12th fret.
ALMOST LIKE NEW. This guitar looks just like new, apart from a tiny impression on the headstock and a few surface scratches in the finish, barely noticeable. Technically, there are no issues at all with the guitar. Furthermore, the instrument has been professionally set up by our guitar technicians, and carefully checked for proper function and playability by our product experts, to ensure its perfect working order.
- This guitar is a true miracle of design, ergonomic qualities and playability! Created in close co-operation with John Petrucci (Dream Theater). The JPX model has been released by Music Man to commemorate 10 years of their collaboration with John Petrucci. The new body shape has a slightly thinner upper horn and a more symmetric bridge end profile. The body is also chambered for added acoustic resonance.
- A professional top quality instrument with a wide range of excellent tones and perfect ergonomic handling! Crafted with highest precision and attention to detail, by Ernie Ball MUSICMAN in San Louis Obispo, California.
- Ball Family Reserve - a strictly limited run of instruments, built using carefully selected finest tone woods and previously reserved for the Ball Family and friends only!
- Finish: Barolo (high gloss polyester), with black hardware.
- Body: Alder, with maple top and a special mahogany tone block.
- Neck: Select mahogany - back of the neck matching the body finish. Music Man guitars are particularly so famous among musicians, because of the outstanding quality of their necks. Bolt-on neck construction (5 bolts) - this enables a fast, precise attack response, while retaining a full, "fat" tone.
- Scale: 25.5" - Standard.
- Fretboard: Ebony - unavailable on any other Music Man guitars until the introduction of the JPX. A fretboard radius of 15" supports fast playing and easy string bending. With JP Shield inlays and a 'Ball Family Reserve' inlay at the 12th fret.
- Frets: 24, wide Jumbo - a perfect fretjob, another famous feature on Music Man USA guitars.
- Nut: 43 mm - Standard.
- Headstock: Matching the body color, with the John Petrucci signature.
- Tuners: Schaller M-6 IND locking tuners - placed in the compact 4+2 design typical for Music Man guitars.
- Bridge: Custom John Petrucci Music Man Piezo tremolo, free-floating (combines the advantages of a Floyd Rose with those of a vintage tremolo).
- Pickups: 1x DiMarzio Crunch Lab humbucker (bridge), 1x DiMarzio Liquifire humbucker (neck), piezo pickup in the bridge. Both humbuckers are splittable for ultra-clean single coil sounds. This pickup combination is very versatile, dynamic, easy to control and absolutely quiet.
- Special feature: This instrument comes with the factory-installed (expensive) piezo bridge - with a built-in piezo preamp and a dedicated 2 band EQ plus a separate balance control knob!
- Electronics: 1x Magnetic Volume, 1x Magnetic Tone, 1x Piezo Volume, 3-way magnetic/both/piezo-switch, 5-way pickup switch (coils 1+2, 1&4, 1+2 & 3+4, 2&3, 3+4), separate and combined outputs for Magnetic and Piezo! Therefore, can be used with mono or stereo cords, in a total of 4 different connection modes.
- Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftmanship, handling and sound!
- The guitar comes with a high-quality original Music Man USA Ball Family Reserve hardcase.
