Full Description

Signature design and tone

The Sterling John Petrucci JP150D Spalted Maple is a precision-built guitar crafted to meet the demands of John Petrucci’s technical playing style. Its design draws inspiration from the renowned Ball Family Reserve models, giving you a streamlined body shape that balances comfort and aesthetics. Equipped with DiMarzio LiquiFire and Crunch Lab humbuckers, this guitar delivers a tonal range that moves from warm, fluid lead tones to tight, aggressive rhythms with ease. The pickup configuration ensures you have all the versatility needed for progressive metal, rock, or fusion styles, making it ideal for players who want clarity and power in equal measure.

Premium playability

Every detail of the JP150D is geared towards effortless playability. The roasted maple neck offers stability and smoothness, while the ebony fretboard provides a fast, glass-like feel for intricate solos. With 24 medium jumbo stainless steel frets, you get excellent durability and a consistent response across the neck. The flat 16-inch radius is perfect for modern techniques, including legato runs, fast alternate picking, and wide bends, while maintaining precise intonation and comfort across all positions.

Striking aesthetics

A spalted maple veneer top finished in Blood Orange Burst gives the JP150D a head-turning look that is as bold as its tone. The natural variations in the spalted maple ensure each guitar is visually unique, adding an air of exclusivity. Combined with custom JP inlays and sleek body contours, this guitar is as much a statement piece as it is a high-performance instrument. From stage lights to studio sessions, this premium finish commands attention wherever you're playing.

Performance-focused hardware

The JP150D is equipped with a modern tremolo bridge, giving you the freedom to add expressive pitch modulation without sacrificing tuning stability. Locking tuners make string changes quick and secure while maintaining consistent tuning, even during heavy tremolo use. The push/push volume boost is a standout feature, providing an instant lift for solos or dynamic passages. Paired with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings and a deluxe Sterling by Music Man gig bag, this guitar is stage-ready and designed to deliver reliability alongside cutting-edge features. It'll see you through any performance
