Grammy-winning, trend-defying, progressive metal guitar mastermind John Petrucci has specific criteria he looks for in a guitar: maximum functionality, ergonomic design, balanced tone, ultimate tuning stability, and, of course, breathtaking beauty. Sterling by Music Man’s MAJ270 checks all the Dream Theater guitarist's boxes — and then some. A nyatoh body and a neck-through nyatoh neck with a 16-inch radius ebony fingerboard complement the chrome hardware well. Top-shelf appointments, such as a modern tremolo, locking tuners, stainless steel frets, and a set of John’s signature USA DiMarzio pickups — the Crunch Lab and LiquiFire — complete the package. It all equates to an axe that's among the most versatile and fastest guitars in the universe and undoubtedly one capable of withstanding the intense heat generated by playing five billion notes per second.
Gorgeous top and tonewoods
The first head-turner on the MAJ270 is the striking flame maple veneer top that beckons your audience. The nyatoh body with flame maple veneer provides a solid, balanced tonal base with singing sustain. The MAJ270's neck-through nyatoh neck with an ebony fingerboard enhances the overall tonal profile with added snap and tightness. The all-gloss body and neck present a larger-than-life feel that doesn't feel sticky to your hands when playing, creating an exquisite musical instrument.
Top-tier performance features
The crew at Sterling by Music Man made sure that the MAJ270 transcends expectations by outfitting it with specs requested by the ardent guitar shred community. Medium-jumbo stainless steel frets adorn the ebony fingerboard, feeling smooth to the touch and making string bends feel nearly effortless. DiMarzio pickups bring power and balance to your overall sonic spectrum. The Crunch Lab is hot and tight with just the right amount of sizzle on top without sounding fizzy; meanwhile, the LiquiFire offers a combination of punch and precision with a smooth feel — great for speedy runs and marathon legato licks. Both pickups clean up incredibly well, too, which makes them versatile enough to be played at your next blues or jazz gig. Other assets include an ergonomic control layout designed to follow the natural movement of your arms while in the playing position, in addition to a push-push volume knob that provides a 12dB boost, allowing you to reach for something extra in a band or practice session.
