New unofficial Ernie musician JP majesty guitar

[Admin M@]

I played the prototypes (including the blue one in the photo.)
Amazing is all I have to say. Best sounding JP ever in my opinion.

I played the prototypes. F'ing amazing is all I have to say. Best JP ever in my opinion.

No doubt they'll be excellent regarding sound and playability. The look is what I find disturbing.

Don't feel bad. Steve Lukather had to use sunglasses as well

I like it. Not sure if I'd buy one, but it's different to all the quilt top stuff out there. For now I'm happy with my awesome Musicman Albert Lee HH.

I had really high hopes when the pic of the headstock came out, but this one is mega fugly! The new album however is my favorite of the last 3, and I love all of em!!!!

PS If you don't have the Liva at Luna Park on Blu-Ray, you are missing out it is so so good!! :eagerness:

If anything the posts in this thread are proof what a strange bunch us guitarists are. We don't take kindly to change do we? I didn't like the look of it too much either. But there's a hell of a lot of innovation and r&d in that instrument, and that can ultimately only be a good thing for us all.

is that petucci? hard to tell with those huge glasses on, but that looks a but like the guvnor playing (lukather). never heard petucci's playing but lukather is one of the top legends.

styling on guitar - don't mind that. but not in the garish blue; the correct colour for a guitar is complete black

edit: that is lukather for sure. thoroughly confused now :S

he popped into the factory real quick and sterling told him "hey try this while you're here."

i see.
digging the look of the dark one on last few pictures. quite cool.

EBMM have received a surprising amount of hate for this design on various forums. I don't mean comments like "I don't like the design" or "I prefer the current model" but actual venomous hating. I just don't understand the mentality of these people.

Just another guitar.

I think that blue colour is just not the right choice. Otherwise, it looks like a guitar that is different from the JP series..

 

[Stillbruch]

Somehow, it reminds me of the ESP Horizon III.

I would have to agree with most posts. I'm sure it sounds amazing but unfortunately it's not my cup of tea. There are so many other options for us to choose from.

Look at the bright side guys, at least you're not left handed!

I very much prefer the look of the old style. The "laser etched maple" is a very strange look. Why not use actual carbon fiber?

I'm curious about the Gamechanger electronics. I have never used them, but they certainly look interesting.

 

[Phostenix]

I'm surprised by all of the visceral reactions to the look. It just looks "different" to me. Ergonomic & high tech. Makes perfect sense to me for what they're doing with that guitar. I can't watch the videos on my phone, but I'd like to know more about the Game Changer switching system. I'm wondering if it's the old Guitar Max system that Rob from Guitar Electronics created a few years back.

Not to my taste. Kinda has that Fahrenheit 451 vibe.

 

[why360]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I am the odd ball, but I think that is a slick looking guitar.

 

[hideous]

looked at the music man forum, looks like there's a lot of positive comments about the guitar. not that it matters.
i think it is visually much better than the current model, but each to their own.
