Description
The Sterling by Music Man JP Majesty is an embodiment of unrestrained creativity and precision, designed in collaboration with Dream Theater's virtuoso guitarist, John Petrucci. This electric guitar flaunts a striking double-cutaway nyatoh body, offering rich tonal depth and a comfortable playing experience. Its unique design doesn't just stop at aesthetics; it’s engineered for maximum playability with a sleek, set-in nyatoh neck and a rosewood fingerboard boasting 24 medium-jumbo frets.
For tonal explorers, the Majesty is equipped with dual Sterling-voiced humbucking pickups that transition effortlessly from crystalline cleans to the robust high-gain tones Petrucci is recognized for. The onboard 12dB active boost, accessible through a push-push volume pot, ensures your sound can cut through any mix. Its recessed pickup selector is cleverly positioned for seamless tonal changes on the fly, maintaining the guitar’s sleek, modern look.
The Majesty doesn’t compromise on hardware either. It features locking tuners for impeccable tuning stability and a modern tremolo bridge that allows expressive pitch control. Whether you're a stage performer or a studio maestro, this guitar promises an exceptional playing experience at an accessible price point.

awesome guitar
I use this on a fair bit of songs, but most notably "Sonically Sexual Dream while High on LSD". it is a great guitar. mine is the Tiger Stripe one and swapped the pickups for DiMarzio Sonic Ecstasy pickups. I recommend if you can afford it.
