Question Majesty Artisan vs. Majesty Monarchy

[PackersAndMusic]

Hey all!

I'm a long time lurker of the forum and I'm finally about to pony up and purchase a Majesty 7 string.
I was just hoping someone could inform me of the major differences(other than price) between the Artisan and Monarchy.
I've found a gorgeous Artisan that I'm minutes away from pulling the trigger on but the only thing that leaves me apprehensive is being able to get a Monarchy for roughly $200 more.
Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Different pickups, different finishes. Other than that, they are exactly the same guitars =)

Thank you for the reply!
Bought my first Music Man yesterday- Majesty Artisan 7 string in Viola.
The price was definitely a bargain and I cannot wait until she arrives!

I'm unfamiliar with these - though I have 2 Petrucci 7 strings (the JP bolt-ons).
What makes it rare - the build/options/wood, or the color? or both?! lol

and to the OP - congrats!

The Viola finish. It was offered for a limited amount of time, along with the Rosso, Azuro and Nero finishes.
