They're bold. They're defined. They're ready. Sterling designed humbuckers in the neck and bridge of the JP15 offer you plenty of sonic quality. Designed to be incredibly articulate, you'll find that they bring out the best in every note you play. With a sound hotter than a basket of chillies, the bridge pickup delivers one powerful punch. It will add tonnes of crunch to your riffs with the gain cranked, whilst keeping everything crystal clear.
The Sterling designed humbucker in the neck brings its own quality to the table. Having a slightly warmer, more well rounded sound, it is perfect for lead. No matter how fast you intend to shred, it will pick every note up with ease, and powerfully articulate it. There's also a 12dB volume boost which can be activated using the push/push function on the volume knob. This will add extra power to your voice, and help you to cut through the mix in style.
Plays like a dream
Rise above the rest. You'll be well equipped with the roasted hard maple neck in your grip. It is incredibly hard and stable, whilst also being naturally smooth for fast, fluid movements. As such, you'll be whizzing down the neck as you shred to your heart's content. The beautiful, prized rosewood fretboard also adds a touch of flavour to the JP16's tone. Being warm sounding, it rounds off its voice nicely, and offers pure, unadulterated comfort when you're fretting the strings. There will be no stopping you once you've discovered the pure potential of these outstanding woods. Expressing your musical ideas will be incredibly easy, and your music itself will be incredibly powerful as a result.
Loaded with luxury
It's got substance. If you're a fan of wild vibrato then you'll love this guitar. It's adorned with a Lo Pro Double Locking Tremolo bridge, which lets you endlessly abuse the whammy bar. It also has a locking nut sitting at the end of the neck, which works with the bridge to provide absolute string support. With these, you'll be able to add anything from a gentle, subtle wobble to crazy, wide vibrato to your licks. As such, you'll have all the tools you need to take your playing further and smash through the mix. The JP160 is an instrument for the true musician.
