Comfort with a bold look

• The Sterling MAJ170 gives a player-focused design an aggressive personality that is catching on with guitarists around the world. Its comfortable, contoured mahogany body is joined with a mahogany set neck — a tone cocktail that elicits wonderful warmth and resonance along with massive sustain. Another unique aspect of the Majesty is its laser-etched top. Not only is it etched in the shape of a shield, but it resembles the high-tech look of carbon fiber to further push the boundaries of what a solidbody electric guitar can be.

Powerful electronics package

• Two Sterling-voiced humbucking pickups serve up chimey cleans through the liquid high-gain tones that Petrucci is known for. And the recessed pickup selector is both positioned perfectly for on-the-fly changes and boasts a low profile to maintain the stealth look of the instrument. Finally, you're able to wring the most gain and harmonic content from your amp with the onboard boost waiting under the push-push volume knob. The guitar experts at Sweetwater love an instrument with tons of tonal flexibility, and the Sterling MAJ170 is sure to please.

High-performance hardware

• Every aspect of the Sterling MAJ170 John Petrucci signature guitar is chosen and crafted to offer you a top-tier playing experience at a budget-friendly price. Starting at the headstock, you'll appreciate the locking tuners that maintain your tuning stability, even under heavy tremolo use. Speaking of the tremolo, this non-locking design boasts rear routing, allowing you to pull up on the bar for intense pitch control. And it wouldn't be from the Music Man family if it didn't sport the unbelievably convenient truss rod adjustment thumb wheel at the neck's butt end.
