Ernie Ball Music Man JP12 6 Electric Guitar w/ Case - Cherry Sugar

The Ernie Ball Music Man JP12 in Cherry Sugar represents the pinnacle of precision performance design, developed in collaboration with progressive guitar icon John Petrucci. Combining luxurious aesthetics with cutting-edge versatility, the JP12 delivers studio-grade clarity, effortless playability, and an expansive tonal palette built for modern musicians who demand uncompromising performance.

At its core, the JP12 features a basswood body paired with a beautifully figured maple top and Music Man’s signature mahogany tone block, creating exceptional resonance with focused lows, articulate mids, and singing sustain. The vibrant Cherry Sugar high-gloss finish highlights the instrument’s refined contours while maintaining the sleek, ergonomic feel that has made the JP platform legendary among technical players.

The select mahogany neck is sculpted for speed and comfort, joined to the body with a 5-bolt sculpted neck joint that provides seamless upper-fret access. A silky ebony fingerboard with a flat 20" radius and 24 stainless steel medium jumbo frets ensures effortless bends, precise articulation, and long-term durability. Music Man’s truss rod adjustment system allows quick neck tweaks without removing strings or components—perfect for touring musicians and evolving setups.

Loaded with a DiMarzio LiquiFire neck pickup and Crunch Lab bridge pickup, the JP12 delivers everything from fluid lead tones and crystalline cleans to tight, aggressive rhythm response. The addition of Music Man’s custom John Petrucci piezo floating tremolo system unlocks convincing acoustic-style tones, selectable independently or blended with magnetic pickups for unmatched sonic flexibility.

Premium appointments including Schaller M6-IND locking tuners with pearl buttons, advanced electronic shielding, and a hardened steel tremolo system complete this world-class instrument designed for total performance confidence.
