Full Description
View Full DescriptionBoutique looks, pro build
The Sterling John Petrucci JP157D pairs a resonant nyatoh body with a striking Flame Maple veneer top, finished in Purple Nebula for serious stage presence. It's light on the shoulder and thoughtfully contoured, with an extended forearm cut that keeps your picking hand relaxed across long sets. The BFR-inspired silhouette, neat binding lines and custom JP inlays add a premium vibe that feels right at home under lights and in the studio
Fast seven-string playability
A roasted maple neck brings stability and that slick, played-in feel, while the ebony fingerboard and 24 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets make rapid shifts and wide stretches feel effortless. With a 25.5" scale and a 16" radius, you get low action without buzz, clear intonation across the range, and a confident platform for alternate tunings. The seven-string layout adds extra low-end authority for modern riffing and expansive chord voices that still ring true
Signature pickups and boost
Voiced for clarity and punch, the DiMarzio LiquiFire (neck) and Crunch Lab (bridge) cover articulate cleans, liquid leads and aggressive rhythm tones with ease. A simple 3-way toggle keeps switching quick, while the push-push volume boost delivers an instant lift for solos without touching your amp. The result is a wide, musical palette that responds to your touch: tight palm-mutes, singing sustain and percussive pick attack all sit neatly in the mix
Stable hardware, gig-ready feel
The modern tremolo offers smooth travel for anything from subtle shimmer to confident dips, returning to pitch reliably thanks to locking tuners and solid posts. A dual-action truss rod makes setup tweaks straightforward, and the five-bolt neck joint adds rigidity for consistent sustain. From rehearsal room to main stage, it holds a setup beautifully, stays in tune, and delivers the dependable feel you need when every note you play matters
