STERLING BY MUSIC MAN John Petrucci MAJ170X Majesty X 7 RW Pearl White
Signature 7-string electric guitar with humbucker pickups, active booster, tremolo and locking tuners
The Sterling by Music Man John Petrucci MAJ170X Majesty X 7 RW Pearl White is the seven-string signature model of the Dream Theater guitarist and offers an innovative design with unrestricted playability and versatile sounds of the harder kind. The ergonomic mahogany body and free-standing mahogany neck provide unrestricted access to all layers of the rosewood fingerboard, while hot humbuckers and the switchable 12dB Boost on the amplifier provide plenty of punch even on the low B string. The Sterling Majesty is completed by a SBMM Modern Tremolo and SBMM Locking tuners.
The innovative Sterling by Music Man John Petrucci MAJ170X Majesty X 7 convinces with high playing comfort and versatile sounds.
Sterling Majesty: Innovative design and high playing comfort
The innovative design of the Sterling Majesty X 7 was developed in close cooperation with John Petrucci and convinces with an incomparably high playing comfort. The mahogany body is not only extremely stable when sitting on the thigh, but also takes up a perfectly balanced position on the strap. Furthermore, the wide cutaways expose the entire mahogany neck, allowing unhindered access to all layers of the rosewood fingerboard. The flat "D" profile can be played furthermore with playful ease.
Humbucker and active boost
As a John Petrucci Signature electric guitar, the Sterling by Music Man Majesty X 7 naturally delivers brute metal sounds at the amplifier, but also shows its soft string in the clean channel. Thus, the Sterling by Music Man humbuckers installed in neck and bridge position convince with a well-dosed Output and a harmonically balanced reproduction, which allows solo lines to sing with endless Sustain, while riffs are presented with tight definition. Clean played chords and melodies are also presented with first-class string separation. Furthermore, the SBMM Majesty offers an active boost, which is activated via the push/push volume pot and boosts the signal and 12 dB for additional volume and gain reserves.
Modern Tremolo and Locking tuners
In addition, the Sterling by Music Man John Petrucci MAJ170X Majesty X 7 is equipped with high-quality Hardware that provides high functionality for unrestricted playing pleasure. The bridge is equipped with the SBMM Modern Tremolo, which is mounted on two pins and convinces with a smooth handling. Due to the undercutting, both up and down bendings are possible without any problems. From the bridge the strings are guided with the classic 25.5" scale length (648 mm) towards the headstock, where SBMM Locking tuners in typical 5+2 arrangement promise a robust tuning even with frequent use of the whammy bar.

Sterling by Music Man John Petrucci MAJ170X Majesty X 7 RW Pearl White
Got this beauty as my entry into the 7-string world. I used to be a metal-head in my teenage years, but am now looking for ways to expand my palette of pitches in other genres (post/math rock, indie, hard rock, etc.).
I really liked the design of this guitar. It's still a "metal" guitar, but not as brutal as many other 7-string offerings.
It feel great and plays well, mostly. However, on my copy the bridge pickup and the tremelo system were installed askew. Which means that a) the strings aren't perfectly aligned with the pickup slugs, b) you need to take off the back plate to change strings every single time. A shame, at this price point I expect better workmanship.
The tuners were dirty with oil as well. Not a huge deal, but it indicates sloppy workmanship.
Cons: - bridge humbucker screws not properly aligned with the strings - similarly: holes of the trem cover not aligned with the holes for the strings! i.e.: have to take off the cover every time you need to change strings, or manually cut out more of the plastic - my copy had an oily residue on the tuners, sloppy! - (push-push) volume knob feels 'wobbly' - pickups are very hot, overdriving my amp when at full volume. For me, this is a negative but it might be a positive for some - for some reason, when playing the upper string and muting the lower strings with my right hand, I always push the lower strings against the pickups. This causes a popping noise. I don't experience this issue with other guitars. - flip flop finish appears quite dark in a dark(er) room

The Sterling MAJ100 has a lot to offer if you want to step up your game a little bit. Very light and plays like a charm, it's the ideal guitar for someone who wants to invest in a better model than the 500 euros model he already has.
However, it might feel a little bit overpriced sometimes given what other 1000+ guitars can do . I suppose we can blame European taxes on this one since it's more about 700 USD overseas. It's also as far as it can be from it's big sister the Majesty, which is, given the price, a little bit of a bummer.
However, it's still a great instrument. A little bit overpriced but very enjoyable (as long as you bother to change the pick up)
