The Music Man John Petrucci Majesty Dark Roast was developed in close cooperation with the string magician of the American prog institution Dream Theater and proves to be an absolute high-performance electric guitar for virtuoso flights of fancy.
The neck-through Majesty has a full-length mahogany neck and mahogany body wings. Thanks to wide cutaways and a flowing neck heel, even the highest positions of the ebony fingerboard are easily accessible. While the flat D-profile makes every lick come out of the fingers at the speed of light, the stainless steel frets guarantee buttery smooth bendings that run like on rails. An optical highlight is furthermore the shield made of curly maple inserted into the body.
With the duo of DiMarzio Rainmaker and Dreamcatcher pickups, the John Petrucci Majesty delivers extremely hot, yet defined guitar tones for tight riffing and fluid solos. But also played clean the humbuckers convince with a harmonic and transparent presentation of melodies or chords. The obligatory piezo system also contributes authentic acoustic guitar sounds, while the switchable boost increases the assertiveness if desired.
Of course, the John Petrucci Majesty Dark Roast by Music Man comes with a high-quality and reliable hardware equipment. The Music Man Custom JP tremolo, which serves as the bridge, promises detuning-free use of the whammy bar. Thanks to the edge-free surface, it also offers the hand a comfortable support for palm mutes and similar playing techniques. Behind the compensated saddle, which guarantees a clean intonation of the empty strings, Schaller locking mechanisms ensure an exact and stable tuning of the signature electric guitar.
