Personalized First Fret JP Logo Inlay

It also serves as a handy visual reference point for navigating the neck. The JP60 lets you carry on Petrucci's legacy with exceptional build quality and attention to detail.

Sing and Scream with Versatile Passive Pickups

The JP60 packs a punch with a set of Music Man humbucking pickups. The bridge pickup delivers singing leads, rich harmonics and thick crunch. Scoop the mids and crank the gain to unleash the tight, articulate distortion needed for extreme metal. The warm, balanced neck pickup provides rhythm tones with plenty of body. Volume controls for each pickup let you dial in your ideal blend. Coil-tap each pickup to split the humbucker into single coils for glassy Strat-like tones. The 5-way pickup selector gives you an array of tones from glassy cleans to blistering distortion.

Perform Extreme Dive Bombs and Vibrato with the Modern Tremolo Bridge

The JP60 features a fulcrum-based modern tremolo bridge for expressive pitch effects. The knife-edge bridge pivots on two posts for ultra-stable tuning, even when abusing the whammy bar. The modern tremolo takes dive bombs, upticks and vibrato in stride. Adjust the tremolo tension with the convenient wheel on the back of the bridge. Keeping the JP60 perfectly tuned during extreme use are a set of die-cast locking tuners. The tuners clamp down on the strings for rock solid tuning stability. Pull off radical tricks without ever going out of tune.
