Possible Majesty "Back of the Neck" shot?? Found on Facebook

[Radz108]

Copied this pic from John Petrucci's Offical Facebook Page. The shot is entitled "Tone Chasing"
If you look closely, he is playing a EBMM guitar (based on the headstock shape) and it looks like an angled headstock. Also the color of the back of the headstock and neck is almost off white (it seems way to bright and light for it to be a JP13). Also the tuners look almost gun metal in color. Unless this is an Armada guitar ( due to the supposedly angled headstock) or could this be another teaser of the mysterious Majesty?
Take a look:

Wow...that's a stretch...looks like maple to me

Hmmm, I agree, seems like a stretch but ya never know.
BTW, how big is John's living room eh? Lol

I nominate you for "trying too hard to see what you hope you see". It looks like a regular Music Man to me. With cell phone cameras and lighting and all that stuff, it could be raw maple neck, silver, grey, or white. just look at how over exposed the armchair in the background is. And those tuners could be chrome as easily as black.

Sorry buddy, but I don't see what you do.

I seriously doubt it. JP knows to keep this under wraps until it is completely unveiled. I believe you may be looking way too deep into this one.

Just adding to the fun and excitement. I agree the shot leaves a lot to speculation. I own a JP6 with a maple neck and JP13 7 with a silvery neck. The pic looks a little different than what I would expect for a "regular JP model" in particular the headstock. From the angle in which the shot was taken, the headstock looked like it was angled, hence my speculation.

The weird colors are from first blowing out the highlights in that shot (look at the sofa opposite side), then bracketing too much (gets the tuners too dark), then getting the while balance wrong (look at the yellow Apple charger).

Looks like a perfectly stock MM guitar to me.

Talked to someone who has played the Majesty and he told me the guitar he played was white so this indeed could be one of them with the different color options. If anything, I think this is Johns Basement and not his living room. His living room is gorgeous and not all blacked out like this.

You guys are taking this Majesty thing too seriously. It's so obvious that the person in that pic is not JP. It's not even a person. It is but one of JP's robot double. See that guy with the laptop? They're uploading the latest software patch to make certain that the JP robot does not exceed 208 BPM. The second generation of JP robots suffered a catastrophic failure when they reached 216 BPM - as shown in this Rock Discipline video:

The new generation of JP bots are now well built. Have you noticed the size difference of the biceps between the second gen and new gen of JP bots?

The guitar is only a distraction. What you need to notice is that barely seen bot sitting to the left of the picture. It appears to be another prototype of the next gen JP bot.

(The real JP is the one who took the picture.)

I was kidding about the living room but you might on to something, could possibly be his basement.

Oh I knew you were kidding

I don't blame you for speculating around the Facebook pic, but I can now exclusively reveal that JP has in fact been trying out new gear in London, and in a break from working up the new rig, I managed to get this shot of the whole thing.

This shot does confirm that the Majesty is a completly new design, and will in fact come in some brand new colours.

Interestingly, JP appears to have now binned the Mesa Boogies and the Fractal units that figured in the previous shot, and has moved on to a very compact Roland rig.

You heard it here first..

I don't think it is a stretch at all. The headstock is angled, almost no doubt about it... The non angled ones have a steep curve on the front and back of the neck. Chrome tuners. White guitar? If the color changes colors depending on temperature or lighting, who knows what colors the thing could turn.

It is, at least as compelling that it could be as it is possible that its just a regular jp model.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the amp rack... Triaxis and no MKV in sight? Hmmm Maybe the test is as much about the guitar and those new speakers as it is the actual touring rig.

HAHA! Is that from Dr. Who? The robot looking thingy.

Thank you BP for confirming!
I guess my speculation was correct!
