Sterling Majesty MAJ170, Chalk Grey

Full Description

Innovative 7-string design

The Sterling Majesty MAJ170 is a bold step in guitar craftsmanship, designed in collaboration with Ernie Ball Music Man and John Petrucci. Its striking body shape is more than just aesthetics; it offers exceptional playability with a set-neck construction that ensures seamless access to all 24 frets. This innovative design not only provides a modern look but also enhances overall comfort, making it ideal for extended playing sessions. The Chalk Grey finish adds a premium touch, creating a guitar that stands out visually while delivering unmatched versatility for both rhythm and lead work.

Powerful tone and clarity

Equipped with dual Sterling by Music Man ceramic humbuckers, the Majesty MAJ170 delivers a dynamic tonal range capable of handling everything from rich cleans to aggressive high-gain tones. The active 12dB push-push boost expands the tonal possibilities, offering extra output for solos or heavy passages when needed. Combined with a 3-way toggle pickup selector, you have complete control over shaping your sound. This combination of components ensures the guitar can cut through any mix with ease while retaining exceptional clarity and sustain, even when using complex chords or extended-range riffs.

Premium hardware and stability

Every aspect of the MAJ170 has been designed for maximum performance and reliability. The modern tremolo bridge allows for smooth pitch bends and expressive vibrato without sacrificing tuning stability. Locking tuners work seamlessly with the bridge system, ensuring quick string changes and precise tuning, even under heavy tremolo use. This setup offers a stable and responsive feel, perfect for demanding stage environments. The dual-action truss rod adds another layer of reliability, allowing you to fine-tune the neck for optimal playability regardless of string gauge or climate conditions.

Comfort and playability

With a 25.5-inch scale length and 16-inch neck radius, the Sterling Majesty MAJ170 is built for speed and comfort. The rosewood fingerboard, adorned with custom JP inlays, feels smooth under the fingers, while the medium jumbo frets offer precise control for both chords and intricate solo work. The ergonomic contours of the body ensure that the guitar sits comfortably in seated or standing positions. Designed to give you peak modern performance, the MAJ170 combines cutting-edge features with an intuitive feel, making it equally suitable for technical shredding, progressive metal, or expressive melodic playing.
