The Sterling by Music Man Majesty MAJ100 (John Petrucci Signature) brings the radical body styling and ergonomic design of the high-end Ernie Ball models to an accessible price point. The MAJ100 notably features an Indonesian-built mahogany (or nyatoh) body, a set-neck design, and locking tuners. Dream Theater and progressive rock/metal tones, this pickup combination is legendary.
LiquiFire (Neck): Known for being incredibly smooth and singing. It delivers a very focused, glassy tone that works beautifully for fat, liquid lead lines and articulate clean tones.
Crunch Lab (Bridge): Designed in close collaboration with Petrucci, this pickup is all about massive attack and definition. It handles high-gain situations perfectly without getting muddy, ensuring chunky rhythms and cutting highs for solos.
2. Playability & BuildThe MAJ100 retains the revolutionary, race-inspired contours of its flagship sibling.
Comfort & Access: The deep, double-cutaway design allows unparalleled access to all 24 frets, with a set-neck joint that essentially disappears under your hand.
Neck Profile: It features a flat 16"-radius fretboard with a very comfortable, relatively thin neck profile that encourages fast, technical playing.
3. Electronics & Hardware
12dB Boost: The master volume pot doubles as a push/push active 12dB boost. This is ideal for kicking your solos up in the mix or pushing your amp harder.
Switching: It uses an ergonomic 3-way toggle switch for pickup selection, angled specifically to match the natural arch of your picking hand.
Hardware: Equipped with a modern floating tremolo bridge and locking tuners to ensure tuning stability, even with expressive whammy bar use.
