JP 20th Anniversary

Ernie Ball Music Man and John Petrucci are proud to celebrate a partnership that has lasted for more than two decades, introducing the world to some of the most innovative guitar designs and technology. 2021 marks the 20th anniversary of the John Petrucci line of signature instruments. To honor this achievement, we are pleased to announce a custom limited edition 20th anniversary John Petrucci (JP) signature guitar. The 20th anniversary John Petrucci features a flamed maple top with a forearm scoop seated in a Honey Butter Burst finished Honduran mahogany body. This special signature is equipped with a load of unique options, including a grain-filled Mahogony bolt-on design, an Ebony fretboard with unique gold JP/shield inlays, a combination of gold and black hardware, and a laser-etched anniversary tremolo backplate. The electronics feature signature DiMarzio Crunch Lab (bridge) and Liquifire (neck) pickups combined with a +20db boost preamp and onboard piezo bridge system, giving the JP a focused and highly versatile palette of tones. Available in 6 and 7 string versions, this collectible anniversary guitar comes with an autographed certificate of authenticity and will have a limited ordering window, so make sure to order soon.
