2021 Ernie Ball Music Man BFR JP15 Rosewood

This was recently traded in by a great customer - it's one of the March 2021 Ball Family Reserve pieces that Music Man has created and its a stunner.

Limited to 89 pieces, this JP15 features a lightweight Okuome body with a rosewood top and separated by a micro-thin maple veneer. The rosewood neck with rosewood fretboard is fitted with 24 stainless steel frets, laser-etched headstock logo, and custom JP 15 Inlays. Chrome hardware is standard. Each guitar is hand-signed by John Petrucci and features a numbered certificate of authenticity.

The Ball family is the last of a dying breed, a family business making premium guitars and basses on the California central coast since 1984. Sterling Ball, alongside his sons Brian and Scott, combine the laser precision of robotics and old-world hand craftsmanship to develop innovative instrument designs that push the boundaries of performance and playability.
