The JP100D John Petrucci Signature is an upgraded version of the JP guitar with deluxe appointments. Based on the "Ball Family Reserve" JP6, this one has a slightly larger basswood body, a scooped forearm contour and is capped with a figured, quilted maple top. The maple neck with rosewood fretboard and 24 jumbo frets has a slightly asymmetrical back carve with a flatter bass side to naturally fit the curve of your hand. Other shred-friendly features include a Sterling® Modern Trem bridge, locking tuners, and two DiMarzio pickups with an diagonally angled 3-way pickup switch for easier access.
"I'm so happy to be part of the Sterling by Music Man family! The new JP100 continues in the tradition of amazingly beautiful, high quality instruments at friendly and affordable prices." - John Petrucci
