In the years of being on the Music Man messages boards, I can’t believe this was never suggested before! Yes!!

I agree with that. I have only a jp6 lefty model. Earlier I wanted to buy majesty in the left handed version but they said they're not making those so what can I do?

[@nsimonsen63]

The classic JP6 is such an unstoppable tone monster. My absolute #1 guitar.

[@nino9273]

same, i have a jp6 from 2005, before it had the crunch lab & liquifier and tonewise i honestly think that's the best guitar music man ever made (maybe together with the jp15 which i think sounds slightly better than the majesty).The new models are all so lovely though, really wish i could afford one to replace my sterling jp70

I really liked the silver JP 13 from a few years back. I think they discontinued that 13 model.

Everytime I think I love the JPM for everything about it - the looks, the tone and the memorable albums made with it.. The Music Man guitars are something else - it is evolution one can look at. I don't think I will ever be able to afford one because of other financial commitments to my family, the Majesty and the JPM will always be my dream guitars even if one can mod an RG to look like a JPM.

[@davelospinoso9022]

Been playing 20 years, John Petrucci and Gary Moore are forever my idols.

[@CompleteProducer84]

The Majesty has been everything I’ve needed in a guitar. Ridiculously easy to play, great lead and rhythm tones, stays in tune incredibly well for a non locking trem, lightest guitar I’ve played, and ergonomic. If I didn’t want a strat tone, this would be the only guitar I’d need

[@michaelgrahamwongacutemadness]

For some of the models that I tried out in stores, I got interesting tones both clean and dirty using both magnetic pickups with the piezo blend; it’s so versatile even with shit settings.

[@m.a.k4149]

John petrucci is one of the smartest, most well behaved gentleman and absolutely great guitarist ever seen❤️❤️❤️

[@psionic6126]

I just hope that John will never ever leave us. I listen to his music since the early Majesty days and started playing the guitar. After so many years i just can't imagine a world without him. His unique melodies combined with his humble and friendly character really helped me through a lot of bad and good times. I always wanted to own a Jp siganture music man but unfortunately couldn't afford it. Some day i will have one. John, if you'll ever read this: You are my hero !!

[@nickh1933]

I have followed DT since 1993. Saw them so many times in the 90’s, always stood right in front of John every show. After seeing them play later on the 6 Degrees tour, on September 10th in 2002, I immediately went out in search of a JP6. One week later I bought my first one, a Pearl Red Burst JP6, fully loaded. Such a great guitar.

[@thomasmims7850]

That's awesome man, do you still own it? I'd love to get one of his originals one day

[@Hillgaard84]

Big congrats on 20 years with these amazing JP guitars! I love them! Cheers from Denmark

[@MostlyAnchors]

I own a bunch of guitars from several manufacturers. I can say they definitely made the Majesty playable for just about anyone. It’s not just John’s name on an ordinary guitar. The ones with the alder bodies really do it for me. Worth every penny.

[@AdamMGuitar]

I remember going to this NAMM-like fair 15 years ago and trying every hi-end guitar from all major brands I could get my hands on. Left the place knowing JP6 is THE guitar. Years later, I'm a happy owner of not only that one but also two Majesties. Truly inspiring instruments!

[@warmoth68]

I own the white Majesty. I was returning a guitar that sucked,and by happenstance someone was returning the Majesty..the guitar guy said hold this while I do the paperwork for your guitar. So I’m looking at this guitar,,knowing it’s thousands of $’s. and I’m a Petrucci fan. After 5 minutes of playing this guitar I traded in every guitar and pedal I had..needless to say,I’ve had the White Majesty for a couple of years,and I gig often,it’s a workhorse of a guitar..Super versatile,always stays in tune,and unbelievably comfortable to play..Hands down the best guitar I’ve ever played! Thank you Sterling,John and the whole crew for making a stellar guitar ! 👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩

[@David.S.]

my all-time favourite looking guitar is the Mystic Dream JP6, hands down.

[@joshuamichael4312]

I remember picking up an Ernie Ball jp6 musicman and thinking "oh wow, that's definitely worth the high price." The neck felt incredible, the guitar was resonate, ergonomic, and very fast feeling. Also the the floating bridge was totally different than the Floyd Roses I was used to . I regret no buying that guitar to this day. That's the only artist series guitar is but tbh.

To me this is the best guitar out there. I'm deeply satisfied as a musician and it's really easy to play. I've been using EBMM for 11 years and I can't get enough out of those guitars. I love them. Thanks for making such awesome instruments. (: Please, realease more videos of John from the vault! That Glasgow Kiss one looks interesting! (:

The first time i tried John signatire guitar was in 2019 in guitar summit in mannheim, germany. Well, i don't know how to discribe this guitar, at that time i was stop playing guitar for about 4 years which make me back to be amateur again but anyway, i wasn't even profesional guitarist and you know what, after trying a lot of guitars at that event, the Majesty was blowing my mind, this sound exactly like the dream theater song, and since then John's signature guitar ist on my list to collect guitar. Well done Music man and John! What a incredible Guitar!

You guys are the best. I had a JP13 for 2 years and it was one of the best things to ever happen in my life. Sadly I had to sell it and it is REALLY hard and expensive to buy one of these in Brazil (almost 20 minimum wages, the price of good used car). I brought mine from the US and I hope I'm able to that again real soon. Looking forward for the next 20 years of JP + EBMM!

As far as JP6, BFR and Majesty...these are evolutionary guitars. Thank you for your music and vision towards developing guitars that is helpful ergonomically. Lots of love, admiration, respect and gratitude. Take care, Maestro. ♥️🎶⚡🎸

[@kevinmcguinness1113]

Absolutely beautiful, quality instruments. I saved up for ages to buy a 2017 Majestic purple Majesty, and for some reason I can't quite put my finger on, I just can't bond with it. I don't think it's the guitar itself, which is incredible and even better and more beautiful than I ever hoped for. I think more than anything, the fear of it getting stolen or damaged if I took it to a gig sometime would be constantly on my mind during the gig and take away any enjoyment I would get from playing the gig in the first place. My #1 is a Partscaster that I put together a couple of years ago, love it and have totally bonded with it. It gives me the freedom and peace of mind to do whatever I want with it, knowing that if it did get damaged or stolen, it would cost me less than UK£500 to build another one. I hardly ever play any of my other guitars now either. The Majesty has become a case queen, hardly ever sees the light of day, but it would break my heart to sell her, knowing the sacrifices I made to buy her in the first place.

[@Kinetex]

How’s the Majesty now?

[@kevinmcguinness1113]

@@Kinetex I persevered with it and it's now my main go-to for home playing. I re-jigged my rig EQ, upped the low end sub-1K by about 1dB and rolled the top end off above 4K by about 4dB and changed from a Rat to a Tube Screamer. That got rid of the shrillness and gain-y tones. It now just sounds brutal (think Petrucci/Jaws Of Life). I also set it up a with 9s a half-step down at E-flat standard, which now allows me up to three and a half step combination bend/upswing at the 15th fret (I'm a big Uli fan 🙂). Biggest thing though was that the guitar forced me into examining my playing and I realised I had to adjust a couple of things ... my muting on both hands had become a bit sloppy over the years, so I had to concentrate on that more and tighten it up. Also, I had to use a bit of a slightly tighter grip with my fretting hand to be able to accentuate the notes and articulate them cleaner, whether soft muted or hard pinch harmonics and anywhere in between. Sacrificed a little bit of legato and arpeggio speed, but that's OK, I'm not an out-and-out shredder anyway. So the problem was mostly me and how the guitar was set up, rather than the guitar itself and I like to think it has actually ended up making me a better player as a result. All good 🤘. I still won't gig with it though, still too paranoid about it getting damaged or stolen.

[@johnmercury8493]

Love it!

[@apocalypticangel3256]

The G3 2007 Show by John on Good Friday 4/7/2007 At the Tower Theater was to this Day the Greatest Guitar performance i ever Saw!😉

[@ChrisHollandGuitar]

I was at the Tower Theater that night. Paul Gilbert was on that tour! Great show, although my favorite G3 will always be 2001, at the Keswick Theater. It was my first time seeing Petrucci (w/ Portnoy), Satriani, and Vai live.

[@DeathBringer769]

I still have my JPX-7 I bought back when it came out. Great guitar, although it is fretting out on the 20th fret on the treble side now for whatever reason. It barely rings out a note there, and if you try to bend it at all the note dies completely. Wonder if it needs fretwork, or if the neck warped slightly over the years? The action is not super low either, and no other fret has this problem on the neck.

[@Nicholas247066]

Sounds like you need your frets levelled. The JPX didn’t come from the factory with stainless steel frets at release, so therein lies the problem I think. EBMM only started shipping guitars with stainless steel frets after Jan. 2011 so you’re bound to run into fret wear with regular ol’ nickel-silver frets.

[@thomasmims7850]

Easy fix man, this happens to old guitars all the time. You need to replace the fret or get your frets leveled off! Unfortunately you dont have the stainless steel frets :/
