JP12
The JP12 features a combination of top appointments from previous John Petrucci signature instruments including DiMarzio CrunchLab and Liquifire pickups, piezo equipped tremolo and stereo output. Most notably, the mahogany JP12 neck has been streamlined to a symmetric, extra slim profile featuring an ultra flat 20" radius ebony fretboard. This, combined with the non-chambered body, mahogany Tone Block and maple top makes the JP12 a powerful and progressive instrument.
JP12 Highlights

Floating JP Tremolo w/piezo saddles

Ebony Fretboard 24 stainless steel frets w/mother of pearl inlays
