I remember following all the threads and speculation with great interest about the "Stallion", which was the code name before the release. Then one day Mrs. Bebop came home with a surprise gift for me...
It was the first one to hit our local GC, from the first run...
Had a number of conversations with customer service and posted many threads as we all learned about the controls and workings of the electronics of these amazing instruments...

That's not necessarily tracked/available from EBMM (with rare exceptions). Some of the NAMM Show pieces often wind up being sold to dealers. This is less common with prototypes shown at NAMM as specs may change before full production - the factory only wants the final production models to hit the streets.
You'd probably be looking at a production date of April 21st or thereabouts for the first Majesty ordered and shipped to a dealer that was not built for the NAMM Show. Serial M00111 is in that date group, while M00110 was completed in May.
The instruments are serialized before final inspection and shipping (the number is under the clear coat) so if something comes up where the instrument needs some further tweaking before shipping then the numbers are not sequential with the date. The build date/manufacture date is the date that the factory determines the instrument is ready to ship to the dealer.
