Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Red Tide Quilt, this JP15 is a John Petrucci signature solidbody with a wide set of onboard sound and routing controls. The okoume body is topped with figured maple, and its roasted figured maple neck and fingerboard carry a gunstock-oil and hand-rubbed-wax finish. A Very Thin C neck, 17-inch radius, 24 frets, and sculpted bolt-on neck joint put the full neck range within reach. DiMarzio Illuminator humbuckers, piezo tremolo saddles, coil split, a 20 dB boost, and mono/stereo outputs let one guitar cover magnetic and piezo signal paths.
Strong match
Who this is for
- High-gain lead work where note definition and upper-fret access matter.
- Recording setups that send piezo and magnetic signals on separate paths.
- Performance changes that call for onboard boost or coil-split switching.
