JP15 Baritone BFR: Low-End Authority, Unmistakable Feel
The JP15 Baritone is back. For the first time in over a decade, and the first time ever in the JP15 lineup, John Petrucci’s vision for an extended-range instrument is once again a reality. Limited to just 100 instruments worldwide, this Ball Family Reserve edition is a collector's piece built for the stage. It combines the earth-shaking authority of a 27.5” baritone scale, tuned A# to A#, with the legendary speed and playability you expect from a JP model. This isn't just a guitar; it's a creative force with a voice that demands to be heard.
A Neck Built for Speed and Comfort
Feel the difference the moment you pick it up. The roasted figured maple neck, finished in a silky satin polyester, is sculpted into a super thin, flat profile that feels impossibly fast and comfortable. With a 17" radius and 24 polished stainless-steel frets, complex chords and rapid-fire runs feel effortless across the entire fretboard. Elegant cream binding adds a refined touch, framing a playing surface designed for pure performance. This is the neck that will keep up with your fastest ideas.
The Pinnacle of Sonic Versatility
At the heart of the JP15 Baritone lies a powerful and versatile electronics package. Custom cream-colored DiMarzio Crunch Lab and Liquifire humbuckers deliver a perfect balance of articulate clarity and aggressive punch, even in the lowest registers. But the journey doesn't stop there. A custom Music Man active preamp, featuring a push/push volume for a gain boost and a push/push tone for unique pickup configurations, opens up a world of sonic possibilities. Add in the Fishman Powerbridge piezo saddles and dual mono/stereo outputs, and you have a guitar capable of shifting from searing electric leads to shimmering acoustic textures in an instant.
An Heirloom Instrument
This is more than a tool; it's a testament to craftsmanship and innovation. The stunning Cherry Creamsicle quilt maple top, paired with a dark translucent red burst alder body, creates a visual masterpiece. Each of the 100 guitars features a tremolo backplate signed by John Petrucci himself and includes a numbered certificate of authenticity. Housed in a premium Mono case, the JP15 Baritone BFR is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Music Man history—a guitar that looks as breathtaking as it sounds.
