Own a Piece of Shred History
Built on June 29th, 2001, this Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci JP6 represents the dawn of one of the most successful signature guitar lines in history. As a highly coveted first-year production model, this instrument marks the exact era of John Petrucci's legendary transition to Music Man, delivering the precise tone and feel heard on Dream Theater’s Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.
The Iconic Mystic Dream Finish
Finished in the signature "Mystic Dream" colorway, this guitar features a mesmerizing color-shifting paint job that transitions seamlessly between deep metallic purples, greens, and golds depending on the lighting. Paired with a rare matching painted headstock, this JP6 is visually stunning from every angle.
First-Year Tone and Playability
Unlike modern iterations, this 2001 model is equipped with the original custom-wound DiMarzio pickups (based heavily on the legendary Steve’s Special and Air Norton set) for maximum clarity under heavy gain. The ultra-thin, asymmetrical maple neck is engineered for absolute speed, while the custom John Petrucci floating tremolo offers unparalleled tuning stability without the hassle of a locking nut.
