About this product
One of the most well-balanced and advanced instruments available, the Majesty features a neck-through-body design, a super-fast thin neck, unparalleled upper fret access, and ergonomic in-line control knob placement. New for 2025 are glow-in-the-dark side dots for improved stage visibility and two stunning finishes—Dark Side and Gold Eclipse—available in 6-, 7-, and 8-string configurations. These striking new colors join the existing Majesty finish lineup, expanding the visual palette of this iconic instrument. The Majesty is loaded with 24 stainless steel frets, DiMarzio Dream Catcher and Rainmaker humbuckers, piezo-equipped saddles for acoustic tones, mono and stereo outputs, a floating John Petrucci tremolo, and Schaller locking tuners. A push/push volume knob activates a 20+ dB adjustable gain boost, while a push/push tone knob enables coil splitting in the middle position. Representing the pinnacle of modern guitar design, the Majesty delivers innovative technology, versatile performance, and a sleek, modern feel.
