Thankfully I've been given the chance to try both the 6 and 7 string version of this guitar a couple months ago and was really blown away by it. I'm all about ergonomic designs and anything that makes playing comfortable.
The guitar is just really well thought out, my favorite JPs so far out of the 20+ I've owned are the JPX7 I have and my Silverburst JPX. But this guitar is seriously not far behind them, the body is small and the neck profile is fantastic. I prefer the shape and look of the 7 string version a bit more just out of preference and it also seems to suit the guitar more looking at it.
I had placed a Glacial Frost one on order, but the retailer I bought it from mentioned they had a new one in the Iced Crimson for me if I was willing to give it a shot. Couldn't resist, the red color is truly fantastic in person, now I'm conflicted between Glacial vs Iced Crimson for my official order. I had to end up returning that Iced Crimson since there was a lot of wear and a knob issue on it sadly, if it was perfect I would have kept it haha.
Truth be told, I don't really care for fret access, the access on my current JP's are fantastic and I've never felt like I required any more than I have available. But the weight, tonewoods, pickups, and tech put into the guitar are just awesome choices. I've always been a fan of Basswood and other woods but chambered.
Also just a question to EBMM, most places including where I got it from are saying these Majesties will be on the Late October/Early November time of release. Is this locked in for sure or is there still a chance it might slip and get pushed further into Late November/Early December? Thanks!
