First-class construction
The first thing Sweetwater's prog-metal aficionados noticed about this Music Man BFR Majesty was its one-of-a-kind cocktail of ultra-high-end tonewoods.

A multifaceted tone machine
No matter what type of sound you're aiming for, it's a sure bet that this Ernie Ball Music Man BFR Majesty can achieve it. This Majesty's core sound is derived from a scorching-hot pair of Petrucci's signature DiMarzio humbuckers, which were designed specifically for his Majesty guitars. The Dream Catcher bridge pickup generates plenty of heat, and thanks to its pronounced low mids, you'll be able to cut through any mix without the shrill highs and muddy lows that plague some high-output humbuckers. The Rainmaker neck pickup offers a warm tone with open mids that blend beautifully with the Dreamcatcher. Moreover, both pickups are incredibly sensitive to your pick attack, with a dynamic range that's second to none. Furthermore, this Majesty is equipped with Fishman Powerbridge piezo saddles, giving you access to full-bodied acoustic tones. You also get a +20dB gain boost designed to push your amp over the edge for screaming solos, one-touch access to passive tones, a selectable mono/stereo output, and a 3-way toggle pickup selector with a custom center-position configuration.
Near-bulletproof hardware
They say a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and the same holds true for your guitar's hardware. Luckily, there are no chinks in this Music Man BFR Majesty's armor. For starters, its Schaller M6-IND locking tuners offer rock-solid tuning stability and faster-than-light string changes. Its custom control knobs include rubber grips to ensure laser-precise adjustments with zero slippage. A custom John Petrucci Music Man floating tremolo rounds out this outstanding instrument's hardware, putting the gamut of pitch pyrotechnics at your fingertips without sacrificing your instrument's tuning stability.
