They're bold. They're defined. They're ready. Sterling designed humbuckers in the neck and bridge of the JP150 offer you plenty of sonic quality. Designed for pristine note articulation, you'll find that they bring out the best in everything 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 supreme 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 guitar's voice, and help you to cut through the mix in style.
Heroic hard maple
Exceptional. The roasted hard maple which makes up the JP150's neck is of an incredible standard. Offering complete ease of movement, you'll find that your hand can fly up and down as you play through songs. The fretboard is also made from the same roasted hard maple, providing all the pristine smoothness you could ever desire. In combination, both the neck and the fretboard offer a bright resonance, which greatly complements the heavy tone of this beast. You'll also find that each note you play has great sustain, meaning that you can make them chime with power.
Built like a tank
Loaded with musical weaponry. The JP150 is an impressive creature, with quality exuding from its design. It has a Modern Tremolo bridge, which facilitates effective use of the whammy bar. The locking tuning machines help to keep your tuning shipshape at all times, holding it steady indefinitely. As such, you can be confident that each note you play will sound immense. Offering the most intense playing experience for the modern player, this guitar will enhance your musicianship and take your playing further.
