Reminds me of my prs case (the only thing I prefer btw.. my reflex case is a bit cheap feeling).

Another great design from the EBMM team!
Is this a typo? The Mariposa page states:
But later in the specs it says:
Is this a typo? The Mariposa page states:
Offset angular mahogany body shape provides a beautiful unique appearance while retaining maximum balance and playing comfort.
But later in the specs it says:
The Mariposa features an offset lightweight okoume body,

I caught that as well but per EBMM they are the same - more manufacturers are moving towards using the true name "Okoume" instead of African mahogany.

Can't tell if it's that or reflection of the case lid?

No, there is not a forearm contour, but there is a very comfortable body contour on the back of the guitar.

The case? heh heh heh
Guitar is 6lb 14oz
I gave it a QC when it arrived and the independent volume controls are pretty cool. I haven't had time to A/B it with anything yet, but hopefully get the chance in another day or two.
No, that's a reflection of the case lid.

Well, in the promo photo where Omar is holding a white righty, there's a pink lefty propped up in the background behind him. And there's another shot of him on stage playing a white righty. But on their product page, it says "Left Handed: no".

I really REALLY like the design. I had always been on the fence over the St Vincent model, as I don't quite get along with the design. This though, I like. It's right along the lines of guitars like the firebird and other things to come out of the 60s. Great retro design with modern appointments.
They're both reminscent of Firebirds to me. St. V's even moreso (maybe because of the pickups). I didn't really think this about the Mariposa until seeing that AMS vid above where it's at an angle.
I gotta hand it to the signature artists and MM designers though. Somehow their signature models always capture the personality of the artist. Yet are neutral and cool enough for others too.
