Music Man JP15 - Red Tide Flame

The Essentials to Know About the JP15 "Red Tide Flame" Guitar

• Total versatility: DiMarzio Illuminator humbuckers + bridge piezo, built-in 20 dB boost to switch from crystal clean to high-gain in one move.


• Premium playing comfort: roasted flamed maple neck/fretboard, very thin profile, oiled/waxed finish for exemplary speed and stability.


• Premium and lightweight construction: okoumé body with flamed maple top, precise and reliable Music Man JP floating tremolo.


• Flexible connectivity: mono or stereo outputs to route magnetic and piezo sounds separately on stage or in the studio.

John Petrucci's Modern Signature in the Music Man Line

The culmination of the JP series, the JP15 represents the most modern approach to John Petrucci's signature: roasted woods for stability, discreet active electronics, and an integrated piezo to cover everything from acoustic sets to progressive metal without changing instruments. It sits at the top of the range for demanding guitarists who want an all-terrain stage guitar with a spectacular Red Tide Flame finish.

Who Is It For, and For What Use?

Ideal for intermediate to expert musicians, the JP15 excels in modern rock, metal/prog, fusion, and shred, while offering beautiful cleans for pop, funk, and cinematic atmospheres thanks to the piezo. Its ergonomics and 24 stainless steel frets make it a studio and touring companion built for precision and endurance.

The Sound

The okoumé body paired with a maple top delivers singing mids with defined highs and a snappy attack, while the roasted maple neck/fretboard adds snap and stability. The DiMarzio Illuminators provide a tight and articulate image, perfect under heavy saturation without muddying extended chords. The push/push volume activates a 20 dB boost to cut through the mix, and the push/push tone control opens customized configurations (splits/combinations). The Fishman Powerbridge piezo offers credible "acoustic" textures, blendable with the humbuckers or routable separately via the two outputs.
