Description
The John Petrucci JP70 7-String Electric Guitar from Sterling by Music Man is a force to be reckoned with. This signature model was engineered to the exacting standards of Dream Theater´s own John Petrucci. Boasting high-output pickups, a modern tremolo and premium components throughout, the JP70 unleashes Petrucci´s progressive metal prowess into the hands of players everywhere.
High-Output Pickups Provide Clarity and Sustain
House-designed humbucking pickups in the bridge and neck positions provide the JP70 with tremendous tonal range and articulation. Notes ring out with bell-like clarity, chords shimmer and bloom and leads soar endlessly. The pickups offer dynamic sensitivity, responding evenly to a feather-light touch or an aggressive attack. Their high output means endless sustain for legato lines and dive bombs alike. A 3-way selector switch lets you access either pickup individually or combine them for a tone as complex and nuanced as your playing.
Modern Tremolo System Opens a World of Expression
A full floating modern tremolo bridge provides the JP70 with a wealth of expressive potential. Dive bombs, scooped mids and warbling leads are all possible with the tremolo´s fluid action and stability. Locking tuners help keep the guitar in tune even under heavy tremolo use, while a contoured forearm scoop offers comfortable accommodation for any technique. The tremolo system´s broad range gives progressive players full creative license.
Premium Components and Construction
A nyatoh body, hard maple neck and rosewood fingerboard provide an exceptional tonal foundation for the JP70´s premium pickups and bridge. The contoured body nestles comfortably against the player for long practice or performance sessions. 24 jumbo frets on a 16" radius fingerboard offer space for complex chords, legato runs and wide bends. Die-cast tuning machines, 5-bolt neck joint and a 1.95" nut round out the JP70´s premium appointments.
