The Sabers and Majestys look great. The custom StingRay build experience sounds super promising.

Man those Axis finishes though...I'm loving the flamed necks and stainless frets, but the finishes these last few years are pushing me towards the used market.

Custom experience? Is it smth new and for bass only?

Looks that way huh. The basses are better sellers than the guitar I'm sure. Makes sense to test it out over there.

Looks very awesome. Is the John Petrucci Majesty new colors in Satan finish?

I didn't see it in the customized bass thing -- short scale as an option?

If I had to guess, to Glenn's point, probably want to test the volume and the plumbing on a new process before opening up too fast. Really exciting stuff though, would love to check out a Ray with a special touch.

Pete was there today, and Pete never seems to disappoint. The teaser are history from the looks of it, unfortunately.

I'm sure will post other pics and such as the weekend goes by.

Very exciting to see a custom option experience, even if starts with basses. I’ll be curious to see if it is successful enough that EBMM expands it to their guitars.

I’m going to start saving in case is it successful and they open it up to guitars next year

I’m here at the show, lots to share but very difficult to post photos to the forum from my phone. I’ll do my best to answer questions as I see them!

The two sparkle colors (black and white) are gloss, the colors with the maple shield are satin. The 3 maple top BFR models are gloss.

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Custom experience? Is it smth new and for bass only?

Yes, it is new for StingRay basses only and is direct from the factory to the customer. The colors in the bass builder are only available through the builder (not available on other instruments or through dealers).

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

No, but fretless and lefty are options once again.

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Here's the white sparkle "Her Majesty's Request"

Hey @PeteDuBaldo - any idea when Bea's new artist guitar will be available to order? I don't see any details anywhere. Thanks.
