From musiciansfriend.com:
Featuring laser-etched maple that’s finished to resemble carbon fiber, the Majesty guitar boasts a super-lightweight body with unparalelled fret access, DiMarzio voicing and a rosewood fretboard with the Majesty logo (for Dream Theater’s original moniker) above the first fret. Music Man’s Majesty guitar was a hot topic leading up to the 2014 NAMM Show.
Two years in the making, the guitar also features the Game Changer pickup switching system, which allows you to put pickup coils in series, parallel, in or out of phase without rewiring the guitar. The system gives you access to an extensive library of tones, over 250,000 possible combinations in total.
By default, the Game Changer is set to just be a switch that you can easily activate if you choose. True to form, the audio signal is never digitized or modeled in any way, providing a transparent analog signal path for the absolute purist. In conjunction with The Game Changer website, you can create, save, and share your tonal selections with the world. Includes case.
