Here's my video on how to hold a guitar pick the RIGHT way:

The Music Man Majesty and Sterling Majesty are two signature guitars for prog rock guitarist John Petrucci. There's tons of reviews about these guitars that are all positively glowing... But I to give you an in-depth guide and compare the features that a lot of guitar demo videos overlook.

Either the Sterling Majesty of the Music Man Majesty can be a versatile choice for any guitarist, but can you really "save money" by getting the sterling?

I'm going to go deeper than just the price and the features. We go over the differences between the locking tuners, the quality of the knobs, what kind of sounds you can pull out of the Sterling Majesty... Even though it doesn't have the piezo, and whether or not you should upgrade to the DiMarzio pickups!

One notable difference is the depth of the whammy dive, with the Music Man Majesty allowing for a much bigger dive. This could make it or break it when it comes to choosing between these two...

In terms of sound, the Music Man Majesty with the Sonic Ecstasy pickups and the Sterling Majesty with DiMarzio pickups both deliver great tones. However, the stock Sterling pickups are not as impressive in my opinion.

No matter which one you go with, the Music Man Majesty is a testament to John Petrucci's influence on guitar design.
