Flawless Intonation Through Innovative Fret Design

The JP BFR Majesty 8's 24 stainless steel frets are arranged in a gradual fan, measuring 27" on the bass side and 25.5" on the treble side. This multi-scale layout creates balanced tension and intonation for distortion-free power chords, crystal-clear arpeggios and screaming leads. The fanned frets enable you to explore the extended range and tune the 8th string down to F# for a rumbling low end.

Premium Pickups Deliver Focused Tone

The John Petrucci BFR Majesty 8 comes equipped with DiMarzio Dreamcatcher and Rainmaker humbuckers, custom designed for John Petrucci's signature sound. A 3-way toggle switch lets you choose the bridge pickup for aggressive leads, the neck pickup for warm chords or combine both for complex layers. A separate 3-way mini-toggle activates the piezo bridge system, blending resonant acoustic tones with the humbuckers for a highly versatile palette of tones.

Built for Progressive Metal Prowess

With its blend of acoustic resonance and high-gain tones, versatile sound-shaping controls and fast neck, the John Petrucci BFR Majesty 8 was created for progressive metal mastery. Experience Petrucci's vision for progressive 8-string playing.
