However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Music Man BFR JP15 is a limited edition masterpiece crafted with a black limba body and a stunning buckeye burl top. Finished in Toxic Sludge and limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, it combines striking aesthetics with exceptional tonewoods for a guitar that looks as bold as it sounds.
It features custom DiMarzio Sonic Ecstasy pickups, a piezo-equipped floating tremolo bridge, and a roasted maple neck with an ebony fretboard for smooth, expressive playability. A push/push 20dB gain boost and versatile stereo/mono output options give you full control over your tone on any stage or session.
Product Ref: 332818
The Music Man BFR JP15 is crafted with a black limba body and a highly figured buckeye burl top, delivering not just visual impact but enhanced tonal complexity. Black limba is prized for its rich, resonant character with a warm low end and detailed midrange, making it an ideal foundation for a high-performance instrument. The exotic buckeye burl adds a truly unique aesthetic, with each top featuring its own one-of-a-kind grain pattern. Finished in the exclusive Toxic Sludge colourway, this JP15 stands out as a true collector’s piece. Only 100 units have been produced worldwide in this finish, ensuring rarity and desirability for those seeking something that’s both musically powerful and visually arresting.
At the core of the JP15’s sonic capabilities are custom DiMarzio Sonic Ecstasy humbuckers, voiced specifically for John Petrucci’s progressive and expressive playing style. These pickups deliver thick, rich tones with exceptional clarity and articulation, perfect for everything from soaring leads to tight rhythm work. A push/push volume control activates a 20dB boost for instant lead gain, while a 3-way pickup selector and an additional 3-way piezo/magnetic selector offer flexible routing. The Fishman Powerbridge piezo system expands the tonal palette further by providing convincing acoustic sounds, ideal for clean intros, ambient textures or dual-amp setups. You can run the piezo and magnetic signals in stereo or mono, offering total control in studio or stage environments.
Playability is at the forefront of the JP15 design, with a roasted figured maple neck that feels lightning fast under the fingers. The neck is finished with Music Man’s signature gunstock oil and hand-rubbed wax blend, giving it a slick, natural feel that stays comfortable even under hot stage lights. A smooth ebony fretboard adds brightness and snap, and is adorned with custom JP15 inlays that mark its premium status. Stainless steel medium jumbo frets provide exceptional durability and smooth bending, while the sculpted 5-bolt neck joint allows for easy access to all 24 frets. From complex solos to subtle dynamic shifts, the neck is designed to stay fast, stable and ready for anything.
Every element of the JP15 has been engineered with performance in mind. The custom Music Man floating tremolo system is equipped with Fishman Powerbridge piezo saddles, giving you expressive control over pitch and dynamics while maintaining excellent tuning stability. Paired with Schaller M6-IND locking tuners and an adjustable truss rod that requires no string removal, the JP15 stays road-ready with minimal fuss. Graphite acrylic shielding and an aluminium control cover ensure the electronics remain noise-free, even in demanding live environments. Each guitar includes a signed tremolo cover from John Petrucci and a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, reinforcing its Ball Family Reserve pedigree.
