The John Petrucci Majesty is built for players who want an all-in-one instrument, neck-through construction for sustain, an active preamp with a 20dB gain boost, and a bridge that goes well beyond a normal tremolo. Its saddles have Fishman Powerbridge piezo pickups built in, wired into the guitar's own preamp for blended magnetic and acoustic-style tones. A generic bridge swap isn't just a fit question here, it would remove the piezo and acoustic-blend functionality entirely, so this bridge is best left alone or replaced only with Music Man's own part.

Not published by Music Man: string spacing, tuner hole size and bridge mounting spacing. Measure these before buying tuners or a bridge.
This guitar uses a Music Man proprietary floating tremolo integrated with Fishman Powerbridge piezo saddles, a fully custom system, not a generic Fender-style unit. Generic replacement tremolos are not a realistic swap here. The bridge pickup route uses F-spaced pole alignment while the neck route uses standard spacing, a real detail to check before ordering an aftermarket humbucker for either position.
We may earn a commission if you buy through links on this page. It doesn't change the price you pay. How we make money
The Majesty's tremolo is Music Man's own design, with the piezo pickups built into the saddles and wired into the guitar's electronics. No off-the-shelf bridge replaces it and keeps the piezo working, which is why there are no bridge options here.
This is the exact pickup this guitar ships with from the factory. The genuine replacement part, not a generic substitute.
This is literally the pickup DiMarzio built for this guitar, the factory-installed part rather than a third-party lookalike, so fit is as close to guaranteed as this proprietary platform gets.
This guitar's pickup route is proprietary to Music Man, so we cannot confirm a standard humbucker fits without checking your specific route dimensions first.
Music Man's proprietary humbucker route has not been independently confirmed to match standard aftermarket dimensions, the same unconfirmed route question that applies to the Seymour Duncan JB SH-4 listed for this guitar.
