Watch
Why it matters
The Petrucci signature line has been in continuous development for over two decades, with each generation adding switching and pickup options for material that demands a wide range of tones. The JP15 sits at the top of Music Man's bolt-on range, alongside the company's other signature instruments rather than in the mass-market bracket. Many finishes are sold through Music Man's own shop in small batches, which limits dealer discounting.
