Solidbody Guitars Descriptions

Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci Majesty 7

7-string Solidbody Electric Guitar with Maple-capped Mahogany Body, Mahogany Neck, Ebony Fingerboard, Tremolo, and Two Humbucking Pickups + Piezo - Enchanted Forest

Fender American Professional II Stratocaster

Fender's American Professional II Stratocaster offers multiple upgrades from its inaugural configuration. The lightweight, contoured body delivers a nicely balanced tonal foundation with a highly-resonant quality. This solidbody electric guitar's first major upgrade lies in the pickup selection. The American Professional II Stratocaster is loaded with a trio of V-Mod II single-coil pickups that pump out a vintage tone with modern refinements. An upgraded 2-point tremolo bridge and cold-rolled steel block combine to give you plenty of sustain and brightness. Further performance upgrades include a contoured heel joint, "Super-Natural" satin neck finish, and upgraded electronics. If you're looking for a guitar with a vintage voice and modern feel, the American Professional II Stratocaster is worth your consideration.
