Ernie Ball Music Man Majesty 7-String Electric Guitar Dark Side

Description

The Ernie Ball Music Man Majesty 7-string electric guitar offers an extended-range take on John Petrucci?s groundbreaking signature instrument, offering unmatched playability and tonal flexibility for modern players. Built with neck-thru construction, a slim-profile mahogany neck and sleek basswood body, the Majesty 7 is engineered for speed, sustain and comfort across its full seven-string scale. New for 2025 are Dark Side and Gold Eclipse finishes, bringing bold visual flair to this already iconic design. Outfitted with DiMarzio Dream Catcher and Rainmaker pickups, a piezo-equipped tremolo bridge and advanced switching options, the Majesty 7 is designed to handle everything from aggressive low-end riffing to searing solos and pristine acoustic textures with effortless precision.

Neck-Thru Construction for Extended-Range Stability

The Majesty 7?s neck-thru-body construction provides the foundation for its resonance, sustain and fluid playability. A slim C-shaped Honduran mahogany neck runs through the basswood body, ensuring a rigid, stable platform that responds evenly across all seven strings. Topped with a smooth ebony fingerboard, the 25.5″ scale and 17″ radius allow for articulate single-note runs with clear note separation and consistent tension, perfect for handling the demands of down-tuned chording and high-register soloing alike. Glow-in-the-dark side dots and Atlante Majesty inlays keep the fingerboard visible in any lighting, while 24 stainless-steel frets deliver durability and precision for even the most technical passages.

Signature DiMarzio Pickups Deliver Powerful Articulation

Voiced in collaboration with John Petrucci, the DiMarzio Dream Catcher and Rainmaker humbuckers sit at the heart of the Majesty 7?s versatile sound. The Dream Catcher in the bridge delivers tight low-end clarity and aggressive punch ideal for rhythm work, while the Rainmaker in the neck provides warmth, singing leads and expressive dynamics. A push/push tone knob unlocks coil-splitting for single-coil sparkle, while the Music Man active preamp ensures headroom and clarity. With mono and stereo output options, players can configure the pickups to suit a wide range of setups on stage and in the studio.

Piezo-Equipped Tremolo Bridge and Advanced Electronics

The Majesty 7 goes beyond standard electric tones with its custom John Petrucci floating tremolo bridge, equipped with Fishman Powerbridge piezo saddles. This system allows players to blend or isolate authentic acoustic-like tones alongside magnetic pickup voices, all switchable on the fly. A push/push volume knob engages up to 20dB of gain boost for solos or heavy sections, while the three-way pickup selector and three-way magnetic/piezo toggle expand tonal possibilities even further. Whether performing live or recording layered textures, the Majesty 7 offers a sonic toolkit designed to meet the demands of adventurous, genre-spanning players.

Stage-Ready Hardware and Performance-Driven Petrucci Design

Built for serious musicians, the Majesty 7 features hardware chosen for reliability and precision. Schaller M6-IND locking tuners provide rock-solid stability, even under extreme tremolo use, while the hardened steel bridge ensures smooth operation and long-term durability. Custom JP control knobs with rubber grips make adjustments quick and secure in performance settings. Finished in sleek high-gloss polyester with bold black hardware, the Majesty 7?s modern aesthetic is as commanding as its tone. Each guitar ships with a Mono softshell case, offering lightweight protection that?s ready for the road or studio.
