I just got my replacement Majesty (my first one had some red flags and I sent it back to Guitar Center). All I can say is what a difference! I definitely think now the first was one that someone returned before - because even all the packing on this new one is different. In fact, the control function diagram on the first was a photocopy.
I'm am a happy camper now. This thing is gorgeous. Action needs to come down a bit, but this one was actually setup unlike the first one that had it's saddles laying flat and buzzing all over the place.
Anyway, I'm so glad I decided to exchange rather than return/refund. I love this thing. I have arthritis building in my fingers - and this will allow me to play for much longer intervals than my current guitars. In fact, I almost had no pain at all, even with the action a little high. I never knew JP and EBMM were ergonomics masters too...
I was kind of back and forth on this, a JP15 or waiting out for a JP16. But I love Neck Through design - and this one probably has the most sustain of any guitar I've ever owned.
It's funny, but I think I've finally got a new class of guitar in the stable. I've always been split between classic guitars (I have a few Gibson SG's), and 80's metal style guitars (ESP, Jackson, Ibanez). Even my 7 string (LTD) I consider more a 80's metal style. This is the first guitar I feel breaks those molds and feels modern.
Excited! I wish I had it a little sooner. My band is in the studio the next 3 days, and already sound checked, plus this one isn't fully set up yet. Too bad, would have been great to use for this album! Next time...
