最近心里长草Ernie Ball Music Man JP系列的电吉他,
但可以查到的资料太少了,偶然看到国外网站的英文资料,
转发过来,用翻译软件凑合着看吧。。。

The Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci signature is one of our editorial team’s favorite guitars ever made.  Between us we have had the chance to play over 100 of them.  However, with EBMM usually introducing a new variation of the model every year, it can be confusing to figure out which one is right for you.  We put this article together to help navigate all variations of the Petrucci model.  In addition to this article, we also have a very convenient chart that compares all JP models.  

First things first, there are two terms you’ll likely see used when people discuss the Petrucci signature online.  Here’s what they are and what they mean:

BFR:  Ball family Reserve.  These feature special woods and used to include a BFR inlay, but no longer feature the inlay.  Examples of special woods include koa, flame maple tops, and rosewood necks.

Loaded/Unloaded:  This refers to the standard Petrucci model being available with a piezo and shield inlays.  The “loaded” version comes with the piezo, inlay, and a matching headstock. If the guitar lacks any of the 3 features, then it is referred to as “unloaded” (IE, Piezo and Matching Headstock but no Shield Inlays)

Also worth noting is that the build quality on all Petrucci models is equal across the board.  The increased price tag associated with some models does not correlate with overall build quality.  The only reason they are more expensive is because of materials and labor differences involved in making one version of the Petrucci signature compared to another. The same staff works at the same factory and they all work on every EBMM guitar, so there is no discrimination of quality from anything they offer.

Now, let’s get started!

JP6/JP7:
These are the standard Petrucci signature model.  They have been in production since 2001 and are available in two versions.  One is the “loaded” version with the shield inlay and piezo, and the other has no piezo or shield inlay.  Both versions come in six and seven string flavor.  Occasionally, you’ll see these pop up in limited or special colors.  These have a basswood body, with a maple neck that usually has some figuring. Another unique feature that was unique to the standard line until 2016, is the forearm contour scoop, which creates unparalleled comfort for anyone playing it. If buying used, it is worth noting that newer versions of this guitar come with stainless steel frets but the older ones do not have the stainless steel fret upgrade.  These tend to sound fairly warm with the stock pickups. This model features a number of finishes to choose from.

JP6/JP7 Non Anniversary BFR:
These are essentially the loaded JP6/JP7, but with mahogany necks and alder bodies.  They usually feature a special wood top such as koa, or flamed/quilted maple.  The 6 strings also can be ordered in baritone flavour (27.5”).  The BFR is usually a tad brighter than the normal JP model if it has a maple top.  The Koa Models differ from the regular BFRs by having solid mahogany necks and bodies, and also have the option of chrome or gold hardware. The koa models are warmer and thicker sounding than the other models due to being made primarily of Mahogany. This model features a number of finishes to choose from.

Note on BFRs: When introduced, BFRs featured an inlay on the 12th fret that indicated “Ball Family Reserve”. 2013 was the year where this was modified, and instead of having a 12th fret inlay, the neck plate now bears a BFR etching. So a JP13 or a JPX without the 12th fret inlay, is still classed as a BFR just check the neck plate on the guitar.

Anniversary Models:

JPX:
These are probably our favorite Petrucci model.  They sound very tight and have loads of attack as well as a 3-dimensional sound to lead playing thanks to the chambering.  Sometimes people find them a bit bright or harsh, but if you pair them with the right pickups, they sound absolutely fantastic. This model introduced several features such as a 5 way, and jumbo frets which is unique to the X. The top horn of the non-anniversary BFR and Standard JP was also refined and made to be the same size as the lower horn of the JP, giving the Anniversary Series a bit more symmetry. If you’re looking for a Petrucci to play metal with, then this is the one we recommend you pick up.  These are very similar to the BFR (Non-Anniversary) and have a chambered alder body with a maple top and mahogany tone block plus a mahogany neck with an ebony board. This model’s finish is called barolo.

The Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci signature is one of our editorial team’s favorite guitars ever made.  Between us we have had the chance to play over 100 of them.  However, with EBMM usually introducing a new variation of the model every year, it can be confusing to figure out which one is right for you.  We put this article together to help navigate all variations of the Petrucci model.  In addition to this article, we also have a very convenient chart that compares all JP models.  You can view the chart by clicking here.  Oh, and if you’re after a new guitar, why not stop by our store?

First things first, there are two terms you’ll likely see used when people discuss the Petrucci signature online.  Here’s what they are and what they mean:

This model features a number of finishes to choose from.

Here’s a loaded JP6 in mystic dream with a rosewood neck in action:



JP6/JP7 Non Anniversary BFR:
These are essentially the loaded JP6/JP7, but with mahogany necks and alder bodies.  They usually feature a special wood top such as koa, or flamed/quilted maple.  The 6 strings also can be ordered in baritone flavour (27.5”).  The BFR is usually a tad brighter than the normal JP model if it has a maple top.  The Koa Models differ from the regular BFRs by having solid mahogany necks and bodies, and also have the option of chrome or gold hardware. The koa models are warmer and thicker sounding than the other models due to being made primarily of Mahogany. This model features a number of finishes to choose from.

Here’s a koa top BFR being played:


…and a standard BFR:

Note on BFRs: When introduced, BFRs featured an inlay on the 12th fret that indicated “Ball Family Reserve”. 2013 was the year where this was modified, and instead of having a 12th fret inlay, the neck plate now bears a BFR etching. So a JP13 or a JPX without the 12th fret inlay, is still classed as a BFR just check the neck plate on the guitar.



Anniversary Models:

This model introduced several features such as a 5 way, and jumbo frets which is unique to the X. The top horn of the non-anniversary BFR and Standard JP was also refined and made to be the same size as the lower horn of the JP, giving the Anniversary Series a bit more symmetry. If you’re looking for a Petrucci to play metal with, then this is the one we recommend you pick up.  These are very similar to the BFR (Non-Anniversary) and have a chambered alder body with a maple top and mahogany tone block plus a mahogany neck with an ebony board. This model’s finish is called barolo.

A JPX in action:

JPXI:
Fairly similar to the JPX, except without chambering.  These also saw the return of medium jumbo frets instead of the jumbo frets found on the JPX.  The big change that came with this model is the noticeably flatter fretboard, which has a 20” radius as opposed to the 15” radius you find on the standard JP. These are generally tighter sounding than any other JP models and have a slightly more compressed sound, making it a great guitar for rhythms and chunky/tight playing. This guitar was the first JP model to ever feature stainless steel frets, which translates into longer fret life, impressive resistance to corrosion and rust, and a glassy feel that almost never goes away. This model’s finish is called onyx.

JP12:
This Variant saw only two major changes from its predecessor, the body wood was changed from Alder to Basswood, and the color was changed to cherry sugar.  This model was introduced in 2012, and along with it was the announcement that all JP models made from then on would feature stainless steel frets. This includes any model built after the JP12 was announced (IE: JP Standard/JP Non-Anniversary BFR/JPX built after 2012 features stainless steel frets). These guitars sound very different from the XI and are a bit warmer and more rounded off in nature, making leads very smooth sounding.

These are probably our favorite Petrucci model.  They sound very tight and have loads of attack as well as a 3-dimensional sound to lead playing thanks to the chambering.  Sometimes people find them a bit bright or harsh, but if you pair them with the right pickups, they sound absolutely fantastic.

If you’re looking for a Petrucci to play metal with, then this is the one we recommend you pick up.  These are very similar to the BFR (Non-Anniversary) and have a chambered alder body with a maple top and mahogany tone block plus a mahogany neck with an ebony board.

This includes any model built after the JP12 was announced (IE: JP Standard/JP Non-Anniversary BFR/JPX built after 2012 features stainless steel frets). These guitars sound very different from the XI and are a bit warmer and more rounded off in nature, making leads very smooth sounding.

Check out this video of the JP12 in action:

JP13:
The JP13 changed the Petrucci series by introducing a unique active preamp and a solo boost which can be activated via the push push volume knob.  The solo boost is basically a gain boost similar to what an EMG Afterburner does. The JP13 has a basswood body with a maple top and mahogany tone block, the neck wood once again is mahogany.  Instead of using the ebony fretboard that Petrucci chose for previous variations, this uses a rosewood board.  This model was also the first to feature Petrucci’s new signature DiMarzio Illuminator pickups.  In my opinion, the Illuminators sound much better than the Liquifire and Crunchlab. The radius on this guitar is different from the JPXI and JP12, as it features a 17” radius. This model’s finish is called platinum silver.

JP15
This model features a roasted…well everything.  The JP15 is a model that is based off of the PDN run seen in 2014-15, the guitars feature an african mahogany body and as a very first outside of a run and in a production line, a roasted maple neck and fretboard. The flame/quilt top is also roasted giving the figured top a bit more depth than usual. The 15 is the first JP model to ever be completely satin giving a smooth frictionless feeling to the entire guitar whenever the player comes into contact with it. The finish this model uses is called sahara burst.

JP16
This year, EBMM launched the JP16, the newest entry to the Anniversary line-up. A slew of new options include use of the Standard JP’s arm scoop on an Anniversary BFR Body, a Floyd Rose 1000, and a lack of Piezo from a BFR/Anniversary BFR for the very first time. Featuring a roasted maple neck, smokey ebony board, and a basswood body, the guitar has a very bright and resonant tone as well as being extremely lightweight due to its basswood body. The introduction of the Floyd Rose 1000 saw some mixed responses, as EBMM’s own proprietary non-locking JP tremolo system has always been widely accepted as a great unit. The Floyd Rose 1000 is a very stable trem for the user that wants to be able to go wild on their guitar and not worry about issues with stability. It is made using the same parts as the German OFR and is simply assembled in Korea instead Germany, so for all intents and purposes, there is no visible nor performance related issue making it inferior to any other trem. This model’s finish is called black lava.

Majesty & Majesty Artisan:
The Majesty is the biggest departure from the usual JP signature model.  The radical shape was controversial when first released due to the rather unique aesthetic.  The standard Majesties feature a basswood body with a maple top and neckthru mahogany neck. Whereas the Artisans feature a Mahogany neck and african mahogany wings with a maple top. It still features the active preamp that the JP13 introduced, as well as a new single input Jack instead of the dual jack interface that every other loaded/BFR JP is known to have. The Majesty introduced was the first ever neck through JP and after its inception, quickly became one of the fastest selling guitars in EBMM’s history, with some retailers being back logged for months at a time. This model features a number of finishes to choose from.

Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci签名是我们编辑团队最喜欢的吉他之一。在我们之间,我们有机会玩超过100个。然而,由于EBMM通常会每年引入一个新的模型变体,因此找出适合您的模型可能会令人困惑。我们将这篇文章放在一起,以帮助导航Petrucci模型的所有变体。除了本文之外,我们还有一个非常方便的图表来比较所有JP模型。

首先,当人们在线讨论Petrucci签名时,您可能会看到两个术语。这是他们是什么以及他们的意思:

BFR:Ball family Reserve。这些特色木材曾经包含BFR镶嵌,但不再镶嵌。特殊木材的例子包括koa,火焰枫木上衣和红木颈。

加载/卸载:这是指标准的Petrucci型号,带有压电和屏蔽嵌体。 “装载”版本带有压电,镶嵌和匹配的主轴箱。如果吉他缺少3个功能中的任何一个,那么它被称为“卸载”(IE,压电和匹配主轴箱,但没有盾牌嵌体)

另外值得注意的是,所有Petrucci车型的制造质量都是相同的。与某些型号相关的增加的价格标签与整体构建质量无关。它们更昂贵的唯一原因是由于制作Petrucci签名的一个版本与另一个版本相比所涉及的材料和劳动差异。同一个工作人员在同一家工厂工作,他们都在每台EBMM吉他上工作,所以他们提供的任何东西都没有质量上的歧视。

现在,让我们开始吧!

JP6 / JP7:
这些是标准的Petrucci签名模型。它们自2001年开始投入生产,有两种版本。一种是具有屏蔽嵌体和压电的“加载”版本,另一种是没有压电或屏蔽嵌体。这两个版本都有六种和七种字符串的味道。偶尔,你会看到这些弹出有限的或特殊的颜色。它们有一个椴木身体,枫木脖子通常有一些图形。标准系列在2016年之前独有的另一个独特功能是前臂轮廓铲,为任何玩家带来无与伦比的舒适感。如果购买使用,值得注意的是,这种吉他的新版本配有不锈钢音品,但较旧版本没有不锈钢音品升级版。随着库存拾取,这些听起来相当温暖。该型号具有多种饰面可供选择。

JP6 / JP7非周年纪念BFR:
这些基本上是装载的JP6 / JP7,但有桃花心木颈和桤木体。它们通常采用特殊的木质顶部,如koa或火焰/绗缝枫木。这6个琴弦也可以以男中音(27.5“)排序。如果它具有枫木顶部,则BFR通常比普通JP模型更亮。 Koa型号与常规BFR的不同之处在于具有坚固的桃花心木颈部和身体,并且还可以选择镀铬或金色硬件。由于主要由桃花心木制成,koa型号比其他型号更温暖,更厚实。该型号具有多种饰面可供选择。

关于BFR的注意事项:在推出时,BFRs在第12个品位上镶嵌了一个表示“Ball Family Reserve”的镶嵌物。 2013年是经过修改的一年,而不是第12个品质镶嵌,颈板现在承受BFR蚀刻。因此没有第12个品质镶嵌的JP13或JPX仍被归类为BFR,只需检查吉他上的琴颈。

周年纪念款:

JPX:
这些可能是我们最喜欢的Petrucci模型。它们听起来非常紧凑,并且由于腔室而具有大量的攻击以及三维声音以引导演奏。有时人们发现它们有点明亮或刺耳,但如果你将它们与正确的拾音器配对,它们听起来绝对太棒了。这个型号引入了一些特征,例如5种方式,以及X独有的巨型音品。非周年纪念BFR和标准JP的顶部喇叭也经过精制,制作成与JP的下角相同。 ,使周年纪念系列更加对称。如果你正在寻找Petrucci玩金属,那么我们建议你选择这个。这些与BFR(非周年纪念)非常相似,并且有一个带有枫木顶部和桃花心木色调块的琥珀色部分以及带有乌木板的桃花心木琴颈。这个模型的完成称为barolo。

JPXI:
与JPX非常相似,除了没有腔室。这些也看到了中型巨型音品的回归,而不是JPX上发现的巨型音品。这个型号带来的巨大变化是明显更平坦的指板,其半径为20“,与标准JP上的15”半径相反。这些声音通常比任何其他JP型号都更紧凑,并且声音稍微压缩一点,使其成为节奏和厚实/紧凑播放的优秀吉他。这把吉他是第一款采用不锈钢音柱的JP型号,可以延长音品寿命,提供出色的抗腐蚀和防锈性能,以及几乎不会消失的玻璃感。这个模型的完成称为onyx。

JP12:
这款Variant只看到了其前身的两个主要变化,车身木材从Alder变为Basswood,颜色变为樱桃糖。这个模型是在2012年推出的,随之而来的是宣布从那时起制造的所有JP型号都将采用不锈钢制品。这包括在JP12宣布之后建造的任何型号(IE:JP标准/ JP非周年纪念BFR / JPX在2012年之后建造的不锈钢品牌)。这些吉他听起来与XI非常不同,并且在性质上有点温暖和更圆润,使得引线听起来非常流畅。

看看这个JP12的视频:

JP13:
JP13改进了Petrucci系列,引入了独特的有源前置放大器和单独增强,可以通过按下音量旋钮激活。独奏提升基本上是增益提升类似于EMG Afterburner所做的。 JP13的椴木机身采用枫木顶部和桃花心木色调块,颈部木材再次为桃花心木。而不是使用Petrucci为之前的变化选择的乌木指板,而是使用红木板。该型号也是第一款采用Petrucci新标志性DiMarzio Illuminator拾音器的机型。在我看来,Illuminators听起来比Liquifire和Crunchlab好得多。这把吉他的半径与JPXI和JP12不同,因为它的半径为17英寸。这款机型的表面称为铂银。

JP15
这个型号有一个烤好的......一切都好。 JP15是一款基于2014 - 15年PDN运行的型号,吉他采用非洲桃花心木机身,并且作为跑步和生产线的第一个外部,一个烤枫木颈部和指板。火焰/被子顶部也被烘烤,使得花纹顶部比平时更深。 15是第一款完全缎面的JP型号,每当玩家接触到它时,它给整个吉他带来平滑无摩擦的感觉。这个模型使用的完成称为撒哈拉爆发。

JP16
今年,EBMM推出了JP16,这是Anniversary系列的最新成果。一系列新选择包括在周年纪念BFR车身上使用标准JP的手臂铲,Floyd Rose 1000以及BFR / Anniversary BFR首次缺少Piezo。这款吉他采用烤枫木琴颈,烟熏乌木板和椴木琴身,具有非常明亮和共鸣的音色,并且由于其椴木琴身而非常轻巧。 Floyd Rose 1000的推出看到了一些不同的反应,因为EBMM自己专有的非锁定JP颤音系统一直被广泛接受为一个伟大的单位。 Floyd Rose 1000是一款非常稳定的颤音,对于希望能够在吉他上疯狂而不用担心稳定性问题的用户而言。它使用与德国OFR相同的部件制造,并且简单地在韩国而不是德国组装,因此无论出于何种意图和目的,都没有明显的与性能相关的问题,使其不如任何其他trem。这个模型的完成被称为黑色熔岩。

陛下和陛下工匠:
陛下是与通常的JP签名模型的最大背离。 由于相当独特的美学,首次发布时,激进的形状是有争议的。 标准陛下的椴木身体采用枫木顶部和颈部红木颈部设计。 而工匠的特色是桃花心木琴颈和非洲桃花心木的翅膀,枫木顶部。 它仍然具有JP13引入的有源前置放大器,以及新的单输入插孔,而不是每个其他已加载/ BFR JP已知的双插孔接口。 陛下推出的是第一款通过JP的产品,并且在成立之后迅速成为EBMM历史上销售最快的吉他之一,一些零售商一次又退回数月。 该型号具有多种饰面可供选择。
