Representing 16 years of collaboration between Ernie Ball Music Man's design team and guitar virtuoso John Petrucci, the JP16 is a riff-shredding machine.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Basswood body Big, warm midrange tones
Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo Licensed design based on original; great stability
DiMarzio Illuminator humbuckers More expressive, dynamic and very liquid
Schaller M6LA tuners Small & light; 1:14 gear ratio for precise tuning

The JP16 is a combination of the original Music Man John Petrucci signature model and later Ball Family Reserve models. Highlights include a lightweight basswood body with high gloss Black Lava finish and a new Floyd Rose 1000 Pro Floating Tremolo system.

The JP16 also features the return of the original scooped forearm contour which will provide many hours of playing comfort. First fret JP16 logo, stainless steel frets and a smoky ebony fretboard are standard options on the ultra-thin and fast figured/roasted maple neck. A pair of DiMarzio Illuminator humbuckers and 20+ dB gain boost push/push volume pot provide the JP16 with plenty of sizzling tone.
