The Sterling by Music Man MAJ100 Majesty is the result of John Petrucci's unwavering demand for performance, playability and race inspired design. Every graceful nuance built into the Majesty is a result of the collaboration between masters: the Ernie Ball Music Man design team and John Petrucci.

Arguably one of the most sleek, perfectly balanced instruments every created, the Majesty features a 25.5" scale, a speedy, 16" radius Rosewood fretboard and an African mahogany set-neck and body. A masterfully crafted design, the unfettered neck joint offers the player unparalleled, full 24 fret access. "Shield" style inlays adorn the neck, as well as John's signature "JPShield" logo, which is inlaid at the first fret. Ergonomic in-line recessed controls include a 3-position pickup selector, volume, and Tone VR controls. Additionally, it features an active "push-push" 12dB circuit boost on the volume control, allowing the player ultimate soloing power at their fingertips. This active circuit is powered by a 9V battery that loads into an easily accessed compartment on the rear of the instrument, and requires no tools, making battery changes user friendly and quick.

Accurate intonation, smooth operation and excellent tuning stability come courtesy of the combination of locking tuning machines and the Sterling by Music Man designed "Modern Tremolo". This premium, full floating tremolo system is featured on most John Petrucci Signature Series instruments, and allows for full dives, read more 2 step pulls, and is exceptionally responsive to flutter effects, all while maintaining accurate tuning. The Locking Tuning machines are arranged in a 4+2 manner on the angled headstock, giving positive, in line string pull over the nut. String changes are easy with a slight turn of the locking wheel mechanism located on the rear of each tuning machine. John's signature is also proudly featured on the face of the headstock.

as a pro player and collector with over 100 guitars, this came as a surprise after buying the musicman model. everything but the pickups seem the same.i upgraded to Seymour duncans dimebag pickups, extra punch,and power with the 12dB power adding switch.at a third of the price and an extra 200. dollars for the pickup upgrade, I am playing it and using it in the studio more and more , to keep the MM in perfect protective status. the body design is one of the most radical in the petrucci line going back to the olp days. I was looking at a new Gibson les paul custom, and the weight difference and balance are miles apart. prior to the upgrade the playability was excellent, but I wanted a blazing sound and got it, by no means did it need it, purely personal preference. if you like quality at a fair price point , then do not pass this guitar by.it is a killer.Sterling makes a great guitar, I own 3 of them, one not a petrucci, an axis which again has all the features of a Sterling , without the pitfalls. Enjoy.............
