Music Man John Petrucci JP6 BFR Ruby Quilt 2014

The Music Man JP6 BFR is not just another John Petrucci signature, the BFR version takes it a step further. Released in a limited edition by the Ball Family Reserve, it features materials and finishes you won’t find on the standard JP series. And it is also signed by John Petrucci himself!

The Music Man JP6 BFR is not just another John Petrucci signature model, the BFR version takes it a step further. Released in limited numbers by the Ball Family Reserve, it features materials and finishes you will not find on the standard JP series! This Ruby Quilt example is a beautiful proof of that.

John Petrucci designed the JP series together with Music Man with one clear goal: to build an instrument that fully responds to the demands of a demanding guitarist. This is reflected in every detail of the guitar, from the comfortable neck geometry to the thoughtfully designed electronics layout. BFR versions are produced in even smaller quantities than the regular signature models and feature more select tonewoods and exclusive finishes: in this case, a striking quilted Ruby Burst top!

In terms of sound, this JP6 offers a wide tonal palette thanks to the combination of two DiMarzio pickups that Petrucci himself helped develop: the LiquiFire in the neck position for smooth, warm lead tones, and the Crunch Lab in the bridge for tight, powerful rhythm tones with plenty of bite. On top of that, the guitar features a piezo bridge, allowing you to switch between magnetic and acoustic simulation, or blend both at the same time.

This 2014 Music Man is signed by John Petrucci himself! The guitar has light playwear and some scratches on the body and neck, and has a lacquer chip on the top of the headstock, along with some smaller blemishes. The guitar is in excellent condition and comes in a hardshell case with a TFOA passport.
