Music Man JP15 7 String Sahara Burst Flame Maple

There are a number of reasons why this is one of the finest 7 string electric guitars money can buy. For a start, the workmanship on the Music Man JP15 7 String is second to none. They have also used some of the finest tonewoods you can lay your hands on. This is essentially a custom shop Ball Family Reserve instrument. Interestingly the African Mahogany body comes with a matte finish as opposed to the usual gloss. This can only enhance the tone and feel of the stunning Roasted Flame Maple top. The Sahara Burst looks incredible on the roasted maple flame top. Bolted onto the body is the pièce de résistance. A highly figured roasted maple neck and fingerboard. With its slender profile and super flat 17 inch radius it is something quite special. First introduced to the JP Series on the Neptune Blue PDN which came out in 2014. You can now get it as standard on this 2015 production model. For a seven string guitar, the JP15 7 is incredibly comfortable to play.

DiMarzio Illuminator humbucker pickups and Piezo Floating Tremolo.

Having all this stunning craftsmanship on a guitar is all well and good. It needs to be backed up with great hardware. Thankfully the Music Man JP15 7 String Sahara Burst comes with just that. DiMarzio Illuminator pickups are fitted in the bridge and neck positions. Between these two pickups you can get a massive range of tones. There's also a custom Music Man active preamp activated by the push/push volume for gain boost and a 500kohm push/push passive tone for custom 2 pickup configurations! Also onboard is a Piezo pickup to give you acoustic guitar sounds at the flick of a switch. This can be used on its own or blended with the electric pickups. The floating tremolo works smoothly. It is stable. Especially with the locking tuners on board. This 7 string flame model is a brilliant take on the John Petrucci signature guitars and an evolution of electric guitar in general.
