The guitar pictured is the actual guitar you will receive! At The Farm, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff. We then photograph each instrument with high-quality equipment in our on-site photography studio. We know that details like wood grain and color finishes can vary, so we want you to be able to see, to the best of our ability, exactly what you will be receiving. This process takes over an hour for each instrument - from inspection to pictures. We care about the instrument we put into your hands! Rest assured your guitar was not just plucked off of a shelf and drop-shipped to you from a warehouse without the care that it, and you, deserve.   JP6 is the original Music Man John Petrucci signature model. Designed in conjunction with Dream Theater's John Petrucci, the JP6 is a versatile workhorse.  The lightweight and resonant Basswood body features a high gloss durable Pearl Red Burst finish with stylish lines and an ergonomic scooped arm countour. The extended forearm cut makes marathon gigs and sessions more comfortable. 24 wide, high profile, stainless steel frets and a RW fretboard with dot inlays are highlighted on the ultra thin and fast select Figured Maple neck that is finished in a gunstock oil and hand-rubbed special wax blend. The custom John Petrucci Music Man Piezo floating tremolo is constructed of chrome plated hardened steel with solid steel saddles. With the flick of a switch you'll be able to take your JP6 from scorching hot tone to a beautiful, open acoustic sound, making this one of the most versatile guitars around. This Ernie Ball Music Man JP6 offers up Petrucci-approved tone, killer style, and unparalleled playability with a perfectly matched pair of DiMarzio pickups and a piezo-equipped bridge for an expansive array of tonal options. According to Petrucci, these pickups produce the best studio and live sound he's ever had. The LiquiFire pickup in the neck position delivers smooth, warm trebles, while the Crunch Lab in the bridge position dishes out a big, tight crunch that's neither thin nor muddy. Equipped with Schaller M6-IND locking tuners with Pearl buttons, and an adjustable truss rod with no component or string removal necessary, making changing strings a breeze.  Comes with a Music Man hardshell case. At The Music Farm, we take quality seriously! That is why we have our in-house technicians do a multi-point inspection on each product, ensuring that it'll be ready to play when it hits your hands!
