Ernie Ball Music Man and Signature Artist John Petrucci are proud to celebrate their 20th Anniversary John Petrucci signature guitar. For over two decades, the world-renowned Dream Theater guitarist has worked with Ernie Ball Music Man, crafting some of the most forward-thinking and innovative signature instruments on the planet. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Ernie Ball Music Man is offering a limited edition 20th Anniversary JP and a limited edition Your Majesty’s 20th Anniversary. Both are now available in either 6 or 7 string versions.
We collaborated with John Petrucci on one Mini documentary for the 20th anniversary Using footage from the early 2000s, the documentary explores the development of John’s signature guitar, his relationship with the Ernie Ball Music Man and includes in-depth interviews with Petrucci, Sterling Ball and members of the Ernie Ball Music Man engineering and product development team, each with John worked on the first JP guitar design and was instrumental in its further development from the beginning. Check out below:
I can’t put into words how proud I am of the success of my guitar line with Ernie Ball Music Man, it blows my mind. I think the coolest part is that we did it on our own terms. That commitment…from the first conversation I had with Sterling about making guitars came from an authentic place.
