Sterling John Petrucci JP70, Stealth Black Overview
The Sterling John Petrucci JP70 in Stealth Black is a slick, 7-string shred machine that brings modern playability and punchy tone in a no-nonsense package. Built on a resonant nyatoh body with a contoured forearm scoop, it feels comfy on a strap and keeps your picking arm relaxed. A hard maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, 25.5" scale and 16" radius sets you up for fast runs and tidy bends, while 24 medium jumbo frets make big stretches feel natural
Dual humbuckers provide a broad, articulate voice from tight rhythm chugs to singing leads, all controlled by a simple 3-way toggle plus volume and tone. The full floating modern tremolo handles subtle shimmer and confident dips, and locking tuners keep tuning steady after heavy whammy work. A 5-bolt neck joint adds stability, the JP shield inlay gives a classy nod to the lineage, and the extended low B brings extra range for modern riffs and expansive chord voicings without losing clarity

Full Description
View Full DescriptionErgonomic design
The Sterling JP70 in Stealth Black is shaped for comfort and control, making long sessions feel easy on the hands and shoulders. A resonant nyatoh body keeps things light without skimping on punch, while the contoured forearm scoop lets your picking arm sit naturally over the bridge for relaxed accuracy. Deep cutaways and a tidy 5-bolt neck joint open up the dusty end, so fast position shifts and wide stretches feel clean and confident from the first fret to the twenty-fourth
Seven-string playability
A hard maple neck and rosewood fingerboard give a balanced, responsive feel with enough snap for articulate rhythm work and enough warmth for fluid leads. The familiar 25.5" scale and a flat 16" radius invite low action, tidy bends and controlled vibrato, and the 24 medium-jumbo frets keep everything smooth under the fingers. With the added low B, you gain extended range for modern riffing and lush chord voicings that still speak clearly in a busy mix
Versatile, modern tone
Dual Sterling by Music Man humbuckers provide a broad palette, from tight, percussive chugs to singing sustain. The pickups stay articulate under gain and clean up nicely from the volume control, responding well to pick attack and dynamics. A simple 3-way toggle keeps switching fast on stage, while the single volume and tone layout means less distraction, so you can focus on playing. It all adds up to a punchy, mix-ready voice that slots into rock, prog and metal with ease
Stable tremolo hardware
The full floating modern tremolo delivers everything from subtle shimmer to confident dives, returning to pitch smoothly thanks to solid posts and a well-cut nut. Locking tuners add the final layer of stability, so heavy trem work and big string bends don’t knock you out of tune. Add the dual-action truss rod for straightforward setup tweaks, and you’ve got a road-ready instrument that holds a setup beautifully and stays reliable night after night
