Sound Pure's Take
Weight: 7.15 lbs.
Condition: Used, Good - Battery box broken, but functional, some minor scratching and play wear
For the player who's looking for the utmost comfort and playability, this is the guitar you need. John Petrucci is known for his economy of motion and sheer speed while playing. His signature guitar gives you every tool you could ever need to achieve exactly that. From the genius arm scoop that helps your right hand sit comfortably across the bridge, to a skinny neck profile that feels effortless to play, this one is truly a wonderful experience. Throw in the incredible Music Man tremolo system, and you've got a guitar that stays in tune very well and really means business.
One of our favorites here at the shop; this won't last long!
From Ernie Ball / Music Man Guitars
JP6 is the original Music Man John Petrucci signature model. The basswood body features a high gloss durable finish with stylish lines and an ergonomic scooped arm countour. The smooth action floating tremolo allows for raising and lowering of pitch with impeccable tuning stability and the option of piezo pickups. Stainless steel frets and a rosewood fretboard come standard on the ultra thin and fast figured maple neck.
