With its bold, sculpted silhouette, expressive feel and expansive sonic palette, the Majesty represents the pinnacle of John Petrucci’s forward-thinking guitar philosophy. Now, the Sterling by Music Man Majesty DiMarzio puts the Dream Theater co-founder's groundbreaking flagship design within reach of working players. At its core are Petrucci’s signature DiMarzio LiquiFire and Crunch Lab pickups, delivering articulate leads, tight rhythm tones and nuanced clarity in both clean and high-gain settings. A three-piece nyatoh set neck with an ebony fingerboard provides stability, fluid playability and precise control across the entire 24-fret range, while a flamed maple veneer top adds brightness, harmonic richness and striking visual appeal. A modern tremolo bridge, locking tuners and a push/push active 12dB boost complete a truly professional feature set, making the Majesty DiMarzio a high-impact weapon built to dominate on any stage.
Nyatoh Body and Flamed Maple Top for Balanced Tone and Visual Depth
The Majesty DiMarzio features a lightweight nyatoh body that delivers warm lows, focused mids and natural resonance, providing a tonal foundation that suits both rhythm and lead playing. Topped with a flamed maple veneer, the guitar gains added brightness, harmonic complexity and a visual flair that highlights its sculpted contours. This tonewood combination ensures that every note retains clarity and presence, whether you’re exploring dense chord voicings or intricate, high-gain solos. The carefully contoured body also promotes extended playing comfort, allowing technical players to maintain precision and control during long sessions or demanding performances.
Three-Piece Nyatoh Neck and Ebony Fingerboard for Speed and Precision
The three-piece nyatoh neck offers exceptional structural stability and sustain, ideal for the rigors of modern progressive playing. Paired with a smooth ebony fingerboard, the neck provides a tight attack, fast response and articulate tone across all registers. Its expertly shaped profile encourages fluid left-hand movement, while the 24 stainless-steel frets support precise bends, tapping and fast legato runs without compromising intonation. Whether executing complex arpeggios, sweeping passages or expressive vibrato, the Majesty DiMarzio’s neck ensures a responsive, consistent feel that inspires confidence in both studio and stage environments.
Petrucci-Designed DiMarzio Pickups for Articulate Lead and Rhythm Tones
At the heart of the Majesty DiMarzio’s sonic identity are John Petrucci’s signature DiMarzio pickups. The LiquiFire neck pickup delivers smooth, singing lead tones and clear, dynamic chord work, while the Crunch Lab bridge pickup provides focused mids, open low end and precise harmonic detail, even under high-gain conditions. This versatile humbucking pair, paired with a push/push volume boost, allows players to switch instantly from nuanced clean passages to aggressive, saturated riffs. Together, they provide the clarity, punch and expressive range required by technical, modern guitarists who demand professional-level tone in every context.
Modern Tremolo and Locking Hardware for Stability and Expressive Control
The Majesty DiMarzio’s modern tremolo bridge allows for expressive pitch manipulation while maintaining stable tuning, even during aggressive vibrato or dive-bomb techniques. Locking tuners further enhance tuning reliability, while the dual-action truss rod provides precise neck adjustment to suit individual playing styles and string gauges. Custom JP inlays and carefully finished hardware add aesthetic refinement, while the instrument’s build quality ensures that every component—from bridge to tuners to frets—supports consistent, road-ready performance. These features combine to make the Majesty DiMarzio a highly responsive and reliable instrument under any conditions.
