Just got this. Many thanks to Adam at Yanda's whose help, like the guitar, is flawless.
As mentioned in another thread, the finish is darker than the MM website. The neck is simply beautiful to look at and even better to play.

I set it up with 0.09's, and only small adjustments required. Gigging with it tonight, so had a bit of practice with it today. The neck is absolutely amazing. I'm expecting it to be very similar sounding to the Majesty as I've only heard it through headsets so far and wait in anticipation.
Keoki, I see you have both. Any big differences?
Thanks

Nothing big but the 15 has its own voice so the build differences do count. Neck and body wood plus the block in the bridge is brass in the 15. And aluminum in the maj. I left tens on the 15 as well. Use nines on the majesty. I don't have any rule about which I use for what. One of them gigs most every day. I'll be interested on your assessment of the differences. Enjoy !

So triple seven, I am curious about you thoughts, 15/maj. FWIW my Maj came with 9's and the 15 with 10's. I just put tens on the majesty. I suppose I'll run in circles with this but right now I like the tens on both guitars.

I've gotten so used to 9's that all mine are set up with them. I don't use EB string as I've found a diff brand which lasts a long time with the humidity in HK.
I've played two gigs with the 15 and I was quite surprised how similar it sounded to the Majesty. It is not as bright, with deeper tones but very subtle IMO. I've noticed that the neck is slightly more stable, as our summer is in full swing now and I've had to adjust the truss on the Maj twice, but the 15 is hanging in there. It's truly an amazing guitar. I managed to negotiate getting the guitar because of the roasted maple neck and at least I don't feel like I BS'd my way into it.
Gotta say a big thanks to all at MM. Your products are inspiring.
