We've got word of a new Sterling by Music Man Guitar - the JP100 John Petrucci Signature. This is a limited edition 2011 model which comes in Trans Black finish. Other than the fact that it looks killer - here's what we know so far...

The Sterling by Music Man John Petrucci signature JP100 is a Transparent Black Basswood bodied guitar with flame maple cap. It features a Maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, 24 Jumbo Frets, JP Shield Inlays, John Petrucci's signature on the headstock and Petrucci Dome style knobs. Check it out below!"
