Overview

A stellar addition to the Ball Family Reserve.

The Ernie Ball Music Man JP15 BFR electric guitar combines breathtaking aesthetics with cutting-edge performance, making it a standout choice for discerning players and collectors alike. This stunning addition to the Ball Family Reserve features a black limba body topped with an exquisite buckeye burl veneer, available in two exclusive finishes—Toxic Sludge and Solar Flare. The thin, roasted figured maple neck with a hand-rubbed oil and wax finish ensures a smooth, fast playing experience, while the ebony fretboard adds a bright tonal edge and sleek feel. With custom DiMarzio Illuminator pickups, a piezo bridge system and an onboard 20dB gain boost, the JP15 offers unparalleled tonal versatility and control. A numbered Certificate of Authenticity and a tremolo cover signed by John Petrucci make this limited-edition guitar a true collector's item.

Custom DiMarzio Illuminator Pickups Deliver Dynamic Tone

The JP15 is equipped with custom DiMarzio Illuminator pickups, designed to capture every nuance of your playing with clarity and power. These pickups provide a balanced frequency response, producing articulate highs, tight lows and a punchy midrange—perfect for everything from complex leads to chugging riffs. The dynamic nature of these pickups ensures they respond to subtle picking details and aggressive strumming with equal precision. Whether you're layering intricate harmonies or dialing in a searing lead tone, these pickups offer endless tonal possibilities while maintaining impeccable clarity.

Piezo Bridge System for Acoustic Versatility

This limited-edition electric guitar features a piezo bridge system, enabling convincing acoustic tones with the flip of a switch. The onboard preamp allows seamless blending between the piezo and magnetic pickups, offering a range of sonic textures from pure acoustic to hybrid tones. Additionally, the dual-output jack configuration supports mono or stereo operation, letting you route the piezo signal to a separate amplifier for added versatility. Whether you're performing live or recording, the piezo bridge system expands your tonal palette, delivering rich, natural acoustic sounds without the need for a secondary instrument.

Roasted Maple Neck with Ebony Fingerboard for Superior Playability

The JP15's roasted figured maple neck offers enhanced stability, smoothness and a sleek appearance, while the hand-rubbed oil and wax finish provides a fast, frictionless feel. Paired with an ebony fingerboard, this neck delivers bright, crisp tones and a smooth playing surface that's ideal for fluid leads and complex chord transitions. The thin neck profile ensures effortless navigation across all 24 frets, making extended practice sessions and demanding performances equally comfortable. This construction prioritizes both playability and tonal excellence, ensuring consistent performance in any environment.

Exquisite Ernie Ball Craftsmanship and Limited-Edition Design

Crafted with a black limba body and a striking buckeye burl top, this guitar is as aesthetically stunning as it is functional. The gloss polyester coat highlights the natural beauty of the tonewoods, while the exclusive Toxic Sludge and Solar Flare finishes add a mesmerizing element of visual artistry. Limited to only 100 units per finish, each guitar features a tremolo cover signed by John Petrucci and a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, underscoring its exclusivity.
