The Sterling John Petrucci JP70 in Stealth Black is a slick 7-string shred machine that brings modern playability and punchy tone in a no-nonsense package. Built on a resonant nyatoh body with a contoured forearm scoop it feels comfy on a strap and keeps your picking arm relaxed. A hard maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard 25.5" scale and 16" radius sets you up for fast runs and tidy bends while 24 medium jumbo frets make big stretches feel natural Dual humbuckers provide a broad articulate voice from tight rhythm chugs to singing leads all controlled by a simple 3-way toggle plus volume and tone. The full floating modern tremolo handles subtle shimmer and confident dips and locking tuners keep tuning steady after heavy whammy work. A 5-bolt neck joint adds stability the JP shield inlay gives a classy nod to the lineage and the extended low B brings extra range for modern riffs and expansive chord voicings without losing clarity
