Welcome to Day 15 of my annual New Year's New Guitar Days (NYNGD)!
Thanks for the kind words and comments on yesterday's NYNGD #2015-14!
OK, down to the wire now! There are three NYNGD left -- #2015-15 today, #2015-16 on 12/30, and #2015-17 on 12/31. The last three guitars are all pretty special, and I had a hard time deciding which order to present them!
Today's NYNGD, which was originally going to be the final NYNGD on 12/31, is an absolutely stunning Majesty Artisan Series masterpiece in Marrone. The reason this guitar was originally going to be the final NYNGD is because I planned to talk about how stunning the workmanship is. And how incredibly light the guitar is. And how tremendously playable it is. This is the first time a neck-thru has felt natural to me. This is the first time (since my days playing a JEM) that such a thin neck feels fine to me.
It really is absolutely amazing and I think it's the best, most well-made EBMM I have ever laid my hands on. Just look at the photos. The workmanship is absolutely flawless. I have actually sat here and stared at this guitar floored by its perfection. I would like to extend a huge Thank You to Tomas and the crew in SLO for such amazing work (we all should be thanking Tomas and team for a great year of guitars)!
So if this amazing, perfect, stunning guitar got "demoted" two notches in favor of two other guitars, what could those be?!?!? Well, you'll need to tune in to find out. Frankly, this Majesty Artisan is BETTER than the next two, but perhaps not as rare or sexy/suckytopped. See you tomorrow!
I'll be back tomorrow with another NYNGD: New Year's New Guitar Day!
Thanks for looking everyone!
Past Days:
(The back story in case you're new to my NYNGD: For the past couple of years I've done a fun thing that most of you I think enjoyed, and I thought I would do it again this year. Every year, I am a slacker about keeping my Guitar Gallery up to date... So, as a fun holiday thing, let's launch a guitar in the Guitar Gallery each day leading up to New Years Eve! In the past I've received PM's about my collection and whether I play all of these guitars.
The same question came up during my NYNGD posts a few years ago and my answer was pretty detailed and well thought-out, so please check it out here!)
(Also, in case anybody gets any funny ideas -- these guitars are not at my house. They are all in my very secure and alarmed studio facility. I usually only have two guitars floating around the house...)
