Introducing the JP15 BFR
The limited edition Ball Family Reserve JP15 features a black limba body with a buckeye burl top, offering a unique and striking aesthetic. Available in two exclusive finishes, Toxic Sludge and Solar Flare, each guitar is part of a limited run of 100 units per finish. The guitar includes a thin and fast roasted figured maple neck with a hand-rubbed oil and wax finish and an ebony fretboard, delivering a smooth playing experience with enhanced stability and brightness. Equipped with custom DiMarzio Sonic Ectasy pickups, a piezo bridge system for convincing acoustic tones, and an onboard 20dB gain boost, the JP15 offers versatile output options, including mono or stereo with the ability to route the piezo to a separate signal chain. Each guitar comes with a tremolo cover signed by John Petrucci and a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, making it a true collector’s piece.
