The JP170D John Petrucci Signature is an upgraded version of the JP guitar with deluxe appointments. Based on the “Ball Family Reserve” JP6, this one has a slightly larger basswood body, a scooped forearm contour and is capped with a figured, quilted maple top. The maple neck with rosewood fretboard and 24 jumbo frets has a slightly asymmetrical back carve with a flatter bass side to naturally fit the curve of your hand. Other shred-friendly features include a Sterling Modern Trem bridge, locking tuners, and a diagonally angled 3-way pickup switch for easier access. The DiMarzio LiquiFire neck pickup delivers a flowing, singing solo tone when used with a heavily overdriven amp and a clear chord sound with a clean amp setting and the Crunch Lab name says it all Ñ “crunch” is what its all about with a big, tight sound thatÕs neither muddy nor thin.Highly respected in the metal/prog community, John Petrucci of Dream Theater is known worldwide for his incendiary chops, creative songwriting and incredible tone. His devotion to his craft inspires legions of players across the globe.Features:
