Nice review! Thanks for pronouncing piezo correctly and making a point of it. Interesting guitar. Thanks for the in depth review.
Thanks!
Great and thorough review. Thank you.
Best reviewer I’ve come across. Very informative and no nonsense
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Fantastic review and impressive videography/editing!
Good review. Deep in details
Great video!
Great review!
man, this is a good video! liked
Totally agree with you on the boost function. If I have a boost on a guitar, its always on, no need for a switch. If I want a boost for solos I have it at the end of the signal chain post effects loop. Having a switchable boost pre-gain is pretty useless to me because my backing and solo tone is pretty much the same save for volume. Pretty rad guitar though and a very detailed in-depth review!
Been waiting forever for the new model year. Got my pre-order in on a Majesty 8, and it should get to me by April. Cannot wait.
Nice! That looks like a sweet guitar. Never played an 8 string myself, but have been trying out 7 string multiscales lately.
@@ManBunMetalHead I have been waiting for a year, because they make so few, but I'm first in line for the 2023 model. I'll try to do a review on my channel, since there are no unsponsored reviews for the Majesty 8, and I'm actually buying mine. 🎸
Thanks for the video, very informative. I'd kill for one of these, but at that price I'll have to stick with my SG.
Nice review, not a guitar I would buy , but now I know the facts in regular guitarist type setting. I always want to see how a guy like me would use it.
Incredible instrument but I must say, the comment at 5:10 is enough to discourage me. Magnetic pickups like that should always work, battery or no battery. I would like to see them figure out a passive bypass for that situation.
Honestly that wouldn't be a hard problem to fix on it. We could probebly rewire it to be like that
The nut is a compensated nut, which helps the intonation. I think it's a music man exclusive and it works very well. Not to be rude, but it sounds like you're playing through a transistor radio speaker. I've had one for 2 years, and it sounds great on a real amp. The boost button works very well when you switch from a light breakup to a more overdriven sound for a lead break without having to step on a pedal.
Lots of brands use compensated nuts. Earvana nuts are probably the most common compensated nut.
Hmmm…. A transistor radio? I would respectfully disagree. I absolutely love that tone and it’s one of the reasons a JP Majesty will be my next guitar. If fact, I want in that same blue color.
Really good review. It helps me to make right decision. I literally hate everything in Music Man guitars now.
Wondering if you’re gonna do a review of the E-II horizons, they’re pretty similar imo
Great video. You mentioned you'd compare it to the other models but I didn't see that. Did I miss something?
Thanks! That'll be an upcoming video.
good review! I think the trem is fine, Petrucci has no issues with it. i do wish however, it had a PTFE nut and not a Melamine nut. i fixed all the tuning issues on mine with big bends nut sauce in the nut slots and the saddles. and i wish the bridge saddles were made out of a harder material, as playing with these for an extended amount of time can cause burrs and indentations on the saddles, making string breakage much more likely.
Thanks. Excellent points! 🤘🏼
Can you make a review of a Musicman Stingray Special 5 strings bass :-)
I wish theyd make me a custom version with PAFs instead of the high gain Pups they have. Even when I fool around with heavy stuff I prefer lower out put Pups.
Just a personal preference: When you demo a guitar make sure you play it clean first. You cant tell an instrument with distortion. When you play it clean dont strum, its not an acoustic guitar. Play a melody on different positions, let the instrument show its colors and capabilities (if any). And maybe use an amp, with a mic.
Would like to hear one plug directly into a Marshall stack
Just ordered mine, had to lie through my teeth with the wife, but it's on the way!!
Awesome! It's an excellent guitar 🤘🏼
What are you playing that through? I absolutely love that tone you have when you first start playing.
It's the Archetype Petrucci plugin from Neural DSP
@@ManBunMetalHeadso that’s a plugin for the PC. How do you interface you guitar into the PC?
@@bretttrommler756 really any audio interface that has an instrument input (I'm pretty sure most do). M-Audio sells a reasonable one here.
amzn.to/41RH37k
@@ManBunMetalHead so then the audio is heard just through the PC speakers? I have pretty decent speakers on my PC. Set up more for gaming than music but still decent.
@@bretttrommler756 yes, exactly. By the way, what's nice about the plug-in is you can try it out for free for 2 weeks to see if it works out for you.
About the boost, Petrucci has stated (Anderton’s interview) he will use it for solos sometimes when he really wants to stand out in the live mix. It also gives you noticeably more sustain (and brings overtones out faster). But obviously I’m sure YMMV based on the rest of your rig’s setup.
Thanks for your input. Probably not something I'd ever use, but if it works for Petrucci, or anyone else, that's awesome.
So, doesn’t stay in tune especially on the third string? Not worth the big dollar sign
In mine the knobs are also not centred. I have had electronics problems twice the first 2 years (I have the first Majesty) The service was great, the send me twice updated electronics and the last years it works without problems. I really love the guitar and 95% of the time I play it, the other 5% is divided by a Samic 335, Fender USA Stratocaster, Burny Les Paul , Martin DM and a Ibanez AF95)
It stays very good in tune, adjusting the truss rod is childs[play, I like how it plays. It is rather small, very light, very well balanced, it was a bit getting used to the flat thin neck but I now like it a lot. Batteries last a long time so every now and then check if the batteries do not leak. Only thing is the coil switch, it is in the right space to set it very fast, but also if I not want it. Took some time to not switch it by accident.
I seldom use the boost, I use the pre-amp of my pedal board. But setting it right you can get a lot of sustain.
Ud b fine with an eppy
your voice great for voice over ........... but please hire someone .... for playing the guitar sory to say
The playing was fine. Stop being a douche.
Hey sir can you giving me this majesty, it’s my dream guitar. 🥺
21:18 Finally someone who tells the truth about these locking tuners. They are nowhere stable as a Floyd + locking nut, in fact they go out of tune all the time.
I've owned my majesty for 2 years now and couldn't knock it out of tune if I tried including dive bombing it over and over it's all in the setup. Just as stable as my fr guitars.
Axis best ...
Sound disgusting!!!
Really kinda does sound bad.
Bro i think u should learn guitar properly I guess
Yeah, I'm pretty bad
Bro what, you're shitting on him for no reason all he's doing is showing a guitar. And he's not that bad.
Mind posting us a video of you playing? If you can dish it out, you should be cool with us having a gander at your playing.
Throw up a video of you playing then, or stop talking out of your arse.
Sounds kinda bad. I expected more. 🤮🤮🤮
