The John Petrucci Music Man Range

The Sterling by Music Man John Petrucci JP70 is based on the Music Man JP family of instruments, created for the uncompromising progressive metal playing of John Petrucci. Crafted in Indonesia, the Sterling JP70 offers players the same thoughtful design touches, versatile tones, and effortless playability of the Music Man JP guitars, but at a more accessible price-point for discerning players. This guitar is a professional instrument in its own right and would be the ideal extended-range studio or live performance tool for modern guitarists.

Quality Tonewoods with Roasted Maple Neck

A basswood body gives the JP70 a warm and resonant tone with a comfortable, lightweight feel. The body is finished in Mystic Dream - a shimmering, colour-changing design for a classy aesthetic that will stand out on any stage. The maple neck and rosewood fingerboard give great stability, resonance, and a smooth playing feel.

Effortless Playability

The JP70 features smooth body contours to sit comfortably against the body whether stood up or sat down. The deep cutaways and low-profile 5-bolt neck joint enable unhindered access to the top-frets, so you'll have no problems with high-octane soloing right at the top of the neck. The 24 medium jumbo frets are mounted with a 16'' radius which is very flat and gives superb balance when crossing the strings - perfect for fast-picked runs and string-skipping. Every feature is crafted to enable the most complex of techniques, so you'll be sweeping, string-skipping, alternate picking, and playing legato with ease.

Versatile Dual Humbucker Tones

Two humbuckers give the JP70 a powerful output that is perfect for modern progressive metal. The 3-way switch and volume/tone controls provide a simple yet effective way to sculpt your sound.  John Petrucci is known for his wide range of musical influences, and this guitar will allow you to create a versatile set of tones, from crystal cleans to fully-saturated overdrives.

Stable Hardware

The JP70 features a modern 2-point tremolo with 7 individual saddles for the perfect adjustment of string action and intonation. The tremolo gives a smooth action for pitch-shifting effects, supported by locking tuners that guarantee tuning stability. With the strong and stable 5-bolt neck joint, maple neck, and locking tuners, the JP70 is a guitar you can rely on to remain in tune during long sessions, whether in the studio or on stage.
