Decisions Decisinos. JP15 Or Artisan Majesty

[MajtasticVoyage]

I would say he was just letting me talk haha. I didn't ask him any questions. I just started telling him how many of his guitars I have and why I like the 13 better than the Maj. He then said something about how the 15 is going back to the 13's stylings. I don't want to put words in his mouth, so I won't, especially since my whole experience was colored with ZOMG I'M MEETING JOHN MUTHA_______ PETRUCCI!!!! - pretty hard to remember all the details

Both look awesome, specialy the Nero, as for the majesty. But I'm not that into gold hardware.

Any words of the price for the jp15 ans the Majesty artisan ?

MajesticVoyage you lucky dog! Getting to meet the man himself. I would have loved to meet him at NAMM, but we were on too tight a schedule. Didn't have time for any meet and greets.

Pricing is as follows:
JP15 6 Flame - $2800
JP15 6 Quilt - $2975
JP15 7 Flame - $2940
JP15 7 Quilt - $3115

Majesty Artisan 6 - 2800
Majesty Artisan 7 - 2940

Pocket change right?

The PDN I got with the roasted neck and board is my new #1. The neck is just so amazing. Have to go JP15.

The Majesty plays fantastic. Innovative and unique. I just can't get on with neck-thru's and finished necks.
I have played plenty of JP's with the colored finish on the back of the neck, and as slick as they are, I come back to all rosewood and the original.
Now that the roasted maple has been out and I have two pdn 7's with it, I have even more options when guitars are offered with it.
JP 15 for me.

I will also be curious to a/b the 13 and 15. Basswood vs. Mahog. I am thinking the 13 will have more bite and the 15 more girth.

The playability of the JP15 was unreal!

The majesty doesn't appeal to me so JP15 all the way, just pulled the trigger on a quilt 6 string. Can't wait!

Well, when the JP15 went missing at NAMM, the scuttlebut was that a $3k guitar was stolen; not to say that this is for sure that much, but with roasted neck/fretboard and roasted flame/quilt top, I can't imagine it'll be any less than $3k.

I would definitely go for the JP15, the moment I saw it I knew I should start saving $$. It's so classy and beautiful, and that roasted maple neck looks awsome. I don't like the shape of the Majesty but clearly is also an amazing guitar.
