Description
The JP15 features a lightweight okoume body with a flame maple top, offered in striking Green Tiger Eye finish. Its roasted figured maple neck and fingerboard deliver a smooth, fast-playing surface enhanced by stainless steel frets and a hand-rubbed oil and wax finish for natural comfort. Electronics include DiMarzio Illuminator pickups, a piezo-equipped bridge for realistic acoustic tones, and an onboard 20+dB gain boost for added punch and tonal range. The piezo system supports mono or stereo output, letting you route magnetic and piezo signals through separate chains. Two 3-way toggle switches give you full control—one selects between magnetic, piezo, or combined output, while the other toggles between bridge, neck, or both magnetic pickups. A push/push tone knob splits the coils in the middle position for added versatility. Additional features include a floating Music Man JP tremolo, locking Schaller tuners, and a Mono case.
