The Ernie Ball Sterling MAJ100 is a guitar conceived from the collaboration between the Ernie Ball Music Man design team and prog metal maestro John Petrucci. This instrument is tailored for guitarists who crave performance, precision, and style. Its set-neck design, a hallmark of superior sustain and resonance, melds seamlessly with the body to ensure every note rings with clarity and depth. The MAJ100's unique contours and deep cutaway invite you to explore the upper frets with ease, while the active "push-push" 12dB boost offers a soloing power that can make your leads soar above the mix.

This solidbody electric guitar boasts a Nyatoh body paired with a 3-piece neck-through design, providing a cocktail of warmth and resonance. The rosewood fingerboard, adorned with custom JP inlays, promises both style and playability. Two ceramic humbuckers, specially voiced for Petrucci's signature sound, capture the essence of his high-gain tones and crystal-clear cleans.

With a modern tremolo bridge and locking tuners, you can dive and pull with confidence, maintaining stable tuning even during your most vigorous performances. Whether you're shredding through a complex riff or letting a chord resonate, the MAJ100 inspires creativity and confidence on stage and in the studio.
