A premium guitar blending striking visuals with versatile tone-sculpting power.
The Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci BFR Majesty 6 takes the iconic guitar to new heights with premium tonewoods, versatile electronics and world-class playability. This limited-edition quilt top model represents the pinnacle of electric guitar craftsmanship, delivering an instrument worthy of the most discerning players and stages.
Premium Tonewoods for Stunning Looks and Rich Tone
The John Petrucci BFR Majesty 6's carved quilt maple top exhibits a shimmering, almost 3D grain over its alder back and sides—a tonewood combination prized for its warmth, clarity and sustain. The three-piece neck incorporates two strips of resonant mahogany capping a flamed maple center strip. An ebony fingerboard adds brightness and articulation. Together, these premium materials produce a sound that's harmonically rich yet focused with plenty of woody character.
Smooth, Expressive Playability From Neck to Bridge
Built for inspired performances, the Majesty 6 sports a supremely playable neck profile that's comfortable for everything from intricate leads to open chord work. The 16" radius ebony fingerboard facilitates effortless bends and vibrato while contributing bell-like note attack and sustain. The double-locking tremolo bridge with stainless steel saddles provides laser-accurate intonation and tuning stability, even with dramatic pitch shifts and dive bombs. Every aspect of this instrument has been meticulously designed for maximum playing comfort and expression.
Unmatched Sonic Versatility From Dual Pickups and Piezo System
Mounted in the John Petrucci BFR Majesty 6 are a DiMarzio Dreamcatcher bridge humbucker and Rainmaker neck humbucker, delivering everything from thick, singing leads to chunky rhythms. But what truly sets this guitar apart is its onboard piezo bridge system, allowing you to blend in realistic acoustic tones at the twist of a knob. This innovative feature opens up a world of sonic possibilities—layering electric and acoustic voices, crafting unique hybrid tones or even using the piezo signal on its own for percussive, piano-like textures.
Premium Appointments
Other premium features include a sculpted flame maple headstock, locking tuners and Music Man's elegant yet modern hardtail bridge design. From its elegant aesthetics to its rock-solid construction, the Majesty 6 represents the absolute finest in electric guitar artistry.
