If you’re the type of person who looks at a product’s price before anything else, you may wonder what the new Music Man Monarchy Series Majesty offers for its nearly $3,000 street price that less expensive instruments don’t have. The explanation is sort of like the difference between a Lamborghini Huracán and a Toyota 86—both are made from similar materials and can quickly get you from point A to point B, but the differences really become evident once you try both out.
Like a Lamborghini Huracán, the Majesty is a sophisticated supercar of a guitar with incredible feel, comfort, responsiveness and playability unlike anything else out there.
If you’re the type of player who strives to play better than the rest and absolutely demands to always perform the best you possibly can (like Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci, who is the model’s primary designer), the Majesty is a very worthy investment.
FEATURES
On the surface, the Majesty is a dual-humbucker shred machine with a floating tremolo bridge, but there is much, much more to it. The body is intricately and generously sculpted with comfortable, smooth curves and features a neck-thru-body Honduran mahogany neck seamlessly blended to an African mahogany body with a flame maple top that surrounds the pickups and bridge in a distinctive shield-like shape.
The neck has a jet black ebony fretboard, 25 1/2-inch scale, 17-inch radius, 24 medium jumbo stainless steel frets and incredibly cool mirrored acrylic inlays that continue the shield motif and reflect even the slightest light for maximum visibility on dark stages. The neck’s profile is shallow and relatively flat, and the matte finish on the back of the neck ensures a steady grip. Every single detail on the Majesty reveals meticulous refinement and attention to detail.
