New EBMM user and a question

[steve's special]

Hello,

I am new here, ever since buying a JPXI few months ago I got hooked onto EBMM guitars.
I went a little crazy and added a Majesty in gold sparkle and a Luke III as well.
All superb guitars. I can't even pick which one is my #1 favorite as they all are amazing in their own way.

I wondered if there's will be a new JP model coming out for this year?
a possible 8 string guitar in works for maybe next year?

Thanks

AFAIK there are no new Petrucci signature body designs coming up. Somebody else already said this in a NAMM interview so its ok for me to say: The 8 string has been in the works for some time, it may not be formally announced for a little while yet.

This is just conjecture on my end but I would guess some new limited Majesty colors next year, BFR models, that kind of thing. You never know, Petrucci can get a wild hair about some new pickups or want some kind of ergonomic update, if he does then its my job to let you guys know about it.

EDIT: Excellent collection btw.
