Ernie Ball Music Man and John Petrucci Launch 20th Anniversary Signature Guitar Collection

Ernie Ball Music Man and Signature Artist John Petrucci are proud to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the John Petrucci Signature Guitar. For over two decades the world-renowned Dream Theaterguitarist has partnered and collaborated with Ernie Ball Music Man crafting some of the world’s most forward-thinking and innovative signature instruments. To celebrate 20 years, Ernie Ball Music Man is offering a limited edition 20th Anniversary JP as well as a limited edition 20th Anniversary Majesty. Both are available now in either a 6 or 7 string version.

Ernie Ball Music Man and John Petrucci have also collaborated on a 20th anniversary mini documentary, which can be viewed here. With footage dating back to the early 2000s, the documentary examines the evolution of John’s signature guitar, his relationship with the Ernie Ball Music Man, and features extensive interviews with Petrucci, Sterling Ball, and members of the Ernie Ball Music Man Engineering and Product Development team, who each worked on the first JP guitar design with John and have been an instrumental part of its progression since the beginning.

“I can’t even express how proud I am of the success of my line of guitars with Ernie Ball Music Man, it blows my mind,” John says in the film. “I think the coolest thing about it is that we did it on our own terms. That commitment… from the first conversation I had with Sterling about creating guitars, that came from an authentic place.”
