Okaaay. When the Majesty first came out, I hated it. I thought it impossibly ugly. I ended up going to a John Petrucci clinic one their last tour, and that changed my mind almost immediately. Getting to hear John explain all of the design choices and getting to play one gave me serious GAS.
So I finally picked up an Iced Crimson 7 a little while ago, and it plays amazingly. The shape is incredibly comfortable for playing with the guitar on your left leg, and I've actually grown to think that it looks pretty cool as well.
The Illuminators are nice, alot more different from the CL/LF then I expected. A bit more mild output wise, and a little dryer feeling. The neck pickups does the classic Petrucci lead tone in spades, and the bridge feels great for riffs. Beyond that, all the things that were excellent about the classic Petrucci models are excellent here. I've had the guitar for quite some time now and I'm confident that it's a keeper.
I've included a clip below. I'll warn everyone that it was inspired by my recent 2010 djent nostaliga, so it is literally all chugs. I actually like how it turned out, and the guitar part is a little trickier than it seems. Thanks everyone!
