Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci Majesty 20th Anniversary Guitar, Honey Butter

Player's Perspective

John Petrucci and Music Man have been working together for years. Together they've come up with some of the best electric guitar designs on the market, but nothing in their catalog is quite like their most recent collaboration - the Majesty. And now, this model is being issued as a special 20th Anniversary edition to celebrate the 20 years of partnership between Petrucci and Music Man.

The Majesty is one of the best new guitar designs of the past few years - not just for Music Man, but in the entire industry. It borrows many build concepts from previous JP models, so in a way, the Majesty is in itself a celebration of Music Man and Petrucci's commitment to perfection. For example, that seemingly large upper horn isn't just for looks: The top cutaway is almost just as deep as the bottom cutaway, so you can get your thumb over the neck when you're playing in the highest registers. The Majesty is the first JP model built with through-neck construction, and the headstock has been angled as well. 

This axe is perfect for the die-hard Petrucci fan or simply anyone who's looking for the best new design geared towards faster playing styles.
