SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA (WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 2026) –– Ernie Ball Music Man proudly announces the new John Petrucci Majesty Premium Select, a refined evolution of the groundbreaking Majesty platform designed in collaboration with Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci. Built to deliver uncompromising performance on stage and in the studio, the Majesty Premium Select represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship, innovation, and tonal flexibility.
Shaped by decades of touring and recording experience, the Majesty Premium Select reflects Petrucci’s preference for a mahogany neck-through-body design paired with alder wings and a thick maple top, creating exceptional depth, sustain, and articulation with the clarity needed to cut through any mix. Engineered for ultimate playability, the guitar features a 24-fret ebony fingerboard with stainless steel frets for effortless precision and durability, along with glow-in-the-dark side position markers for maximum visibility in low-light performance environments.
At the heart of the Majesty Premium Select are John Petrucci’s Signature DiMarzio Rainmaker and Dreamcatcher humbuckers, delivering the powerful, articulate tones synonymous with Petrucci’s signature sound. A piezo-equipped Music Man floating tremolo system expands the instrument’s sonic range with convincing acoustic-style textures, while stereo and mono output options offer enhanced routing flexibility for live and studio applications. Additional performance-focused features include an onboard 20+ dB gain boost for instant lead enhancement and dynamic tonal control.
The John Petrucci Majesty Premium Select is available in 6, 7, and 8-string configurations in five stunning finishes:
Carnelian Red
Ka’anapali Dream
Mystic Dream
Purple Nebula II
Strawberry Moon
The new Majesty Premium Select is now available through authorized Ernie Ball Music Man dealers worldwide. For more information, visit www.music-man.com.
