Music Man USA John Petrucci JP6 BP - Blue Pearl '1st Year'

Electric guitar
A rare instrument, from the 1st year of production, with an exceptionally beautiful birdseye maple neck!
EXCELLENT. The guitar has been little played and very well kept. It has remained in an EXCELLENT, despite its age. Apart from a pair of blemishes in the finish on the body (one on the front side between the neck and the neck pickup, the other on the rear side; both marked in the pictures), there are no cosmetic issues with the instrument. Technically, the guitar is in perfect condition, the electronics and the hardware are flawless. Furthermore, the instrument has been professionally cleaned and 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).
  • Crafted with highest precision and attention to detail, by Ernie Ball MUSICMAN in San Louis Obispo, California.
  • Finish: Blue Pearl, with chrome hardware - a very classy looking instrument!
  • Body: Basswood - this wood is often preferred because of its excellent resonance characteristics, especially on distorted sounds.
  • Neck: Best birdseye maple, with an exceptionally beautiful grain - back of the neck unpainted, hand oiled and waxed for a smooth satin feel. Music Man guitars are particularly so famous among musicians, because of the outstanding quality of their necks. The neck is a pleasure to grab, feels perfect to your hand and plays just fantastic!
  • Scale: 25.5" - Standard.
  • Fretboard: Rosewood, with dot inlays.
  • Frets: 24, medium - a perfect fretjob, another famous feature on Music Man USA guitars.
  • Nut: 43 mm - Standard.
  • Headstock: Natural, with John Petrucci signature.
  • Tuners: Schaller M-6 IND locking tuners with pearloid knobs - placed in the compact 4+2 design typical for Music Man guitars. Often requested by professional artists, these tuners are a must-have for the demanding musician. The key to their design is eliminating wraps around the string post, which can cause string slippage and tuning problems. Simply loosen the thumbwheel located on the back, feed the string through the post, lock the thumbwheel tight, cut off the remaining string, tune up and you’re finished – better tuning stability and no more restringing nightmares.
  • Bridge: Original Music Man Special Petrucci tremolo, free-floating (combines the advantages of a Floyd Rose with those of a vintage tremolo).
  • Pickups: Custom DiMarzio Petrucci Model Humbucker (bridge and neck), splittable for ultra-clean single coil sounds in the middle position. By the way, these pickups are not available separately. They were developed by DiMarzio exclusively for this guitar and are only factory-installed in Music Man Petrucci models. This particular pickup combination is very versatile, dynamic, easy to control and absolutely quiet.
  • Alternatively, upon request of the purchaser, we can also perform a professional installation of a different pickup combination, e.g. any DiMarzio, EMG or Seymour Duncan etc. (Very fair prices per pickup swap). Furthermore, we offer installation of active boost and EQ circuits like EMG Afterburner, PA-2, SPC, RPC, VMC, EXG etc. Please ask for details if interested.
  • Electronics: 1x volume, 1x tone, 3-way pickup switch.
  • Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftsmanship, handling and sound!
  • The guitar comes with a high-quality original Music Man USA formfit hardshell case.
