DISC Sterling by Music Man John Petrucci JP60 Guitar, Mystic Green

Full Description

The JP Range From Sterling By Music Man

John Petrucci's collaboration with Music Man has led to some of the highest performing instruments available for the gigging guitarist. The JP range from Sterling aims to reproduce the playability and versatility of these guitars at a more affordable price point. The JP60 is based on the Music Man John Petrucci Signature Series JP6.

Classic Wood Combinations Built For Versatile Tone

The JP60 utilises the well-rounded tone of basswood and is presented here in a sleek Mystic Green finish, which John chose specifically for inclusion in the JP range of guitars. With the modern contoured body including a scooped forearm cut, the guitar is comfortable to hold and allows you to get on with the business of playing. The neck is constructed from the classic combination of maple with a rosewood fingerboard, and gives a sleek feeling back for the left hand.

Easy Access Fingerboard

With 24 medium jumbo frets and a flat 16" radius, this guitar provides an easy playing experience across the whole fingerboard. The 5-bolt neck attachment assists in reaching the top frets of the guitar, and the 25-1/2" scale length with the supplied .010-.046 gauge strings allow for easy string bends and an authoritative tone.

Electronics Designed For Simplicity And Versatility

The JP60 guitar features Sterling by Music Man designed humbucking pickups and a 3-way switching system. This combination ensures that, just like John Petrucci himself, you will be able to achieve a wide variety of tones whether that be distorted riffing, liquid smooth soloing, or crystal clean picking.

Hardware Made For Reliable Performance

The JP60 features a Sterling by Music Man designed "Modern Tremolo" and is built to provide smooth operation and an excellent ability to return to pitch after use. The guitar is also provided with locking tuning machine heads for quick string changes and reliable tuning. These features will ensure accurate intonation and, alongside an easily adjusted truss rod, guarantee that the guitar will stand up to the rigours of gigging and rehearsing.

John Petrucci

As long time guitarist for the band Dream Theater, alongside many other side-projects, John Petrucci is well regarded as one of Progressive Rock Music's living legends. He blends a virtuoso technique with complex and well thought out musical compositions to make a truly individual name for himself. He demands the very best of his instruments to last through repeated world tours and recording sessions. His signature Sterling guitars are a reflection of his attention to detail and the high demands he places on his instruments, both in terms of reliability and versatility.
