New line-up announced, a new color for the JP15, Majesty Monarch Series and many others!

What you guys think? The JP15 in trans teal looks amazing.

 

[Rachmaninoff]

The JP15 features a lightweight African mahogany body (...)

Someone has been checking the Suhr Modern Satin models...

 

[TheTrooper]

The black Majesty is beautiful, all the others are horrible.
The best of all his the Luke III, the black St.Vincent a close second

 

[vinniemallet]

Conclusion: you like black guitars

They've been using Lightweight African Mahogany for quite some time now, suggesting copying over a wood choice is silly in the first place

If that new JP15 comes in a quilted version I think it might be my new GAS.

Hahahaha Yeah, well, I forgot to add the flame maple acquaburst(?) JP15.
That's pretty nice too

 

[jephjacques]

If that purple Majesty had gold hardware.....

 

[Spicypickles]

Loving that JP15, and all the majesty's minus the red one.

 

[Masoo2]

Really digging the finish + wood combination on this

The finish goes great with the rosewood fretboard and natural headstock.

Was half expecting a Jason Richardson signature, to be honest.

 

[beerandbeards]

That all black ST. VINCENT

 

[A-Branger]

I wonder how much of a "top" that flame shield actually is. Looks more like a veneer, which is nothing wrong but I always read MM mention it as a "maple top". Unless theres is a thick shield shape maple incrusted in the body, because the bevels of it doesnt allow for a natural "top" to be left in that shape

well this time they wrote it bit more carefully

feature a highly flamed maple shield seated in an African Mahogany body

AS opposed to the previous specs of the standard and artisan majesty

Body Wood African mahogany with maple top and mahogany through neck

They just said in the Reddit AMA this month that there would be a JP8 and something upcoming for JR in 2017, so I imagine this is not complete.

It might during the NAMM, I don't think they would unveil everything just like that. JP8 and JR7 gonna be a big announcement for sure

My guess is it's the same thickness as the tops on the PDN JP guitars (1/8" I think). EBMM don't strike me as the type to go the veneer route on their high tier instruments.

yeah I guess it might be. That is something I ve always tough from the release of the majesty, eassier to notice on the Artisan models, were theres not much room for a traditional "top", unless theres a block of maple wood in the shape of the shield inserted into the body

 

[Santuzzo]

That new JP15 color looks awesome!

And I'm also very curious about the Jason Richardson signature

 

[Radau]

I feel like there's gonna be another Bongo added to the family.

 

[pott]

The link doesn't say NAMM anywhere, does it?

Also this is just the spring line-up. There's likely more to come (e.g. the Hunter Hayes sig model already discussed on the MM forums a loooong time ago but not formally announced, and the semi-confirmed JP8 and JR models).
