Here for sale we have a Sterling by Music Man John Petrucci JP157 7-String Electric Guitar in Trans Black Satin finish. Made in Indonesia, this guitar consists of a Nyatoh body with a Flame Maple top, a Roasted Maple neck, and a 24-fret Roasted Maple fingerboard. Other appointments include a Sterling by Music Man Modern 2-Point Tremolo bridge, Locking machine heads, JP Shield inlays, and a set of Sterling by Music Man humbucking pickups. These pickups are wired to a master volume (push/push volume boost), master tone, and a 3-way pickup selector. 

 

The Roasted Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the ‘D’ profile and Satin finish providing for smooth and effortless navigation up and down the neck. The Roasted Maple fingerboard provides an effortless, tactile surface under the fingers as well as offering a robust playing surface, and with its 16" radius and Medium Jumbo frets assist with string bends and vibrato techniques, delivering a tailored playing experience in any position. The double cutaway body design provides uninhibited access to the upper register, with large cutaways that ensures that even players with large hands are well accommodated. 

 

Amplified, this guitar has a thick low end grunt and sculpted mid range thanks to its pair of  Sterling by Music Man Humbucking pickups. The Humbucker bridge pickup delivers a powerful but balanced rock and metal tone with rich upper-midrange harmonic content. The low strings are tight and the high strings scream with harmonics, making it a go-to pickup for hard-hitting crunch rhythms and blazing lead tones. The Humbucker in the neck position offers all the soloing clarity you could wish for, with sweet sustain and a warm, full sound that still possesses a clear attack providing a hot output delivering smooth, fluid solo tones under gain, while still being capable of bell-like clean tones. The push/push Volume boost allows you to boost your guitar’s volume by pressing in the volume knob which is incredibly useful and adds a good amount of volume on top of the guitar’s original volume.

 

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
