Description
For the first time in over a decade, the John Petrucci baritone is back — and it’s making its debut in the JP15 family! This limited-edition beauty is perfect if you’re after massive low-end power without losing the lightning-fast feel JP models are famous for. With a 27.5″ scale length and tuned A#–A#, you’ll unlock a whole new sonic range while keeping that effortless playability intact.
The Alder body and Quilted Maple top give this guitar a unique tonal flavour compared to the standard JP15, while the cream neck binding and matching cream pickup bobbins add a classy finishing touch. Loaded with DiMarzio Crunch Lab and LiquiFire humbuckers, it delivers crystal-clear articulation and punch across its extended register.
Only 100 of these Music Man BFR Baritone JP15 guitars are available worldwide. And each one comes with a signed tremolo back plate from John Petrucci himself, a premium Mono case, plus a numbered certificate of authenticity.
