After a few years of searching, I finally found a used Majesty 6 in Stealth Black for sale. Price was reasonable, seller was fast and responsive.

Guitar arrived in pristine condition - case was smashed by UPS but seller gave me a nice discount on the purchase to make up for it. I've been playing it for the past few weeks and it plays and sounds great.

I did notice, however, that these pickups (supposed to be the JP signature Dreamcatcher/Rainmaker pickups) don't physically look like any Majesty 6 Stealth Black pickups I've seen in basically any videos or photos. They usually look like this:

Meanwhile, my pickups look like this:

(Please ignore the finger dust - I've been playing it quite a bit)

They don't sound off or anything - I have a JP15 with illuminators pickup, so I had some idea from descriptions of what these would sound like and it's fairly close - less bright/present. And the physical appearance is obviously not a big issue, I'm just trying to make sure these are stock and I'm dealing with the real thing here.

In case these are stock - any clue as to why they look so different from every other stealth black pickup I've been running into?

Appreciate the help 🤘

What year is it? Apparently through 2018 they had Illuminator pickups, then switched to Rainmaker/Dreamcatcher.

The Rainmaker/Dreamcatcher look to have screws on both sides of the humbuckers, while the Illuminators had slugs on one side. You seem to have one pickup with all screws, and the other with half slugs.

The Stealth Black was a limited series released in 2019/2020, they're all supposed to be Rainmaker/Dreamcatcher models. My serial number is from January 2021.

Thinking of emailing Musicman directly about it - their staff should be able to tell.
