Sterling by Music Man JP157: Flamed and Roasted Maple
High-quality ingredients are used in the construction of the Sterling by Music Man JP157 John Petrucci Signature. The strongly contoured body is made of mahogany with a top of curly maple, whose intense grain is elegantly accentuated by the transparent teal Finish. The roasted maple neck, which can be played comfortably thanks to its "D" profile, is attached with five screws. Due to the thermal treatment of the maple wood in a vacuum, the neck has an enormous stability and is insensitive to climatic fluctuations.
Two humbuckers with active boost, high quality hardware
The electric sound of the Sterling by Music Man JP157 John Petrucci Signature electric guitar is converted by two hot-wound humbuckers, which with their tight sound skilfully stage both fat riffs and complex solos, and harmonically present chords and melodies in the clean channel. The active electronics offer the possibility to boost the output signal by 12 dB and to elicit additional gain and volume reserves from the guitar amplifier. Furthermore, the electric guitar is equipped with the Sterling Modern tremolo, which, in conjunction with the precise locking tuners, allows for detune-free whammy bar applications.
