This JP15 is a beast – John Petrucci’s signature tone and playability distilled into a seriously high-end instrument. The roasted maple construction feels incredible, and the combination of humbuckers and piezo gives you a surprising amount of tonal flexibility. It’s really geared towards players who want that modern, high-gain metal sound with a touch of acoustic nuance, and are willing to invest in a top-tier guitar.
