The 2023 John Petrucci JP15 “Butterscotch Burl” BFR features a unique combination of tonewoods that make it the gem of any guitar collection. The JP15’s highlights start with a richly figured Butterscotch Burst buckeye burl top outlined with a thin rosewood veneer and loaded onto a smooth-sounding Black Limba body. The Black Limba body’s backside is adorned with a distinctive, beautiful trans butterscotch satin finish. The neck combines roasted figured maple and a rosewood fretboard with 24 stainless steel frets.
Like most JP15 models, this guitar features Dimarzio Illuminator pickups for the neck and bridge, a 20+ dB gain boost, and a super smooth modern tremolo with Schaller locking tuners for ultimate tuning stability. Limited to 100 pieces worldwide, each guitar includes a John Petrucci autographed tremolo cavity cover and numbered certificate of authenticity.
This JP15 guitar is brand new and in factory fresh condition, with no dings, dents, fretwear, or shop wear. It will come with the original EBMM branded Mono Case, factory packaging, Certificate of Authenticity, and legendary DuBaldo Music Center case candy.
