This guitar is unique; it's a prototype of the Sterling JP-100 model done in a finish called liquid amber, which was not a regular production finish. I bought it as an experiment with the sterling line, but I've found that the regular music man petrucci models suit me better. I've played this guitar for only a few hours and it has been sitting idle for the past several years. The guitar is in brand new condition and will ship free in the lower 48, certificate of authenticity included.
