I've always liked the look of these but in the pics, the body always looked really big. I know MM guitars play great cause I've owned 2 but I was also a bit afraid of the trem (I'm a Floyd guy). However today i was in Sam Ash and they had one so I played it. this guitar played like a dream and is lightweight and versatile and the trem actually stayed in tune.
I didn't buy that one instead I came home a bought the exact same guitar used off of TGP.

I had pretty much decided before this that I was done with production guitars and I was about to have Kiesel build me another one.this one changed my mind. can't wait till it arrives
 
That's a killer colour! Nice one.
I had a very similar experience with MusicMan guitars. Tried a couple during a visit to a local guitar store (my first time playing a MM). I was totally bowled over by the Luke III model. Went home and ordered one that same afternoon.
 
I have one in the same color. Very comfortable guitar that looks like it would sound thin and plinky but, is anything but! Congratulations!
 
I actually hated these when they first came out... then I played one and now I own 3 :lol: :LOL:

I've got a Monarchy in purple already or I would have probably grabbed that blue one. Excellent guitars, congrats :thumbsup:
 
Nice choice! And the seller is top notch. I have been to Rayneman's house and bump into him from time to time around town. Takes great care of his gear and has a sweet collection.
 
I was totally ready to come on here and post how much I don't like the look of those guitars, but that one looks nice!

I think I don't like the look of the ones that have that patch of a different color in the middle. I don't know why but don't like it at all. The solid color ones look pretty good. Nice score!
 
Love EBMM Majestys they are my favorite modern guitars. Congrats!!
 
Congrats, man! :rock:

I play only MM basses and have a Luke II. Unfortunately I got unlucky with the Luke, which I bought 2nd-hand from Denmark at great expense, 'cause there's a bump in the fretboard around the 3rd to 6th fret. This means that I can't run the action as low as I'm used to due to risk of excessive fret buzz.

Figured I'd hang onto it anyway and see if a fret dress could compensate enough one day. It'll be touch-and-go 'though 'cause there isn't much meat on those puppies to provide a cushion; they're low-profile.

Again, congrats, man. :thumbsup:
 
Got the MM 2 days ago. Its a beautiful guitar but the nut is grabbing causeing tuning issues. I play 8's due to arthritis ( finally gave in last year and dropped from 9's) so I'm hoping when i change the strings to 8's this will no longer be an issue . I hate nut issues,I'm not gonna buy nut sauce and the like I'll just take a file to it if i need to. Or sell it which at this point isn't on the radar because this thing is sweet ,all my other guitars have floyds and I decided to take a chance on this one not having a locking trem.
Anyway I always put a tremel-no on my guitars and set them up for dive only IMHO a floating trem is a PITA. However I can't find anyone that has a tremel-no in stock.
so for now the guitar sits in the case waiting to be set up.
 
Funny that; I've go a tremel-no in the Luke.

Sorry to hear about the nut, man. The Luke's nut is the slipperiest I've ever had. For the first time ever I can tune without having to back off first and wind up to the desired pitch; every millimetre I back off the string slips through and pitch goes down accordingly. Incredible (to me), so I'm thinking that the nut in your geetar should be just as good or very-similar, meaning that this issue will hopefully be a one-off that you can fix with a minimal file and / or some BB Nut Sauce.
 
These usually have good nut work, and the way they stagger the tuners, they tend to be pretty straight and smooth.

But, like you, I hate dealing with nuts, and nearly went all Floyd, until I got my Explorer. But, it just got picked up at the tech's as well. Nut needed attention, and needed fret leveling, which is odd for a PLEK'D guitar, (supposedly). Good news is, it's 100% now, and plays like a dream, and sounds like a beast with the Het Set in it!
 
So the guy I bought this from saw this thread and is sending me a tremel-no that he doesn't use . ......definately a cool thing to do
 
Wow, good on him! :rock:

The fact that you didn't bitch, whine and blame the issue on the seller, along with fek's endorsement of him, would've made reading the thread a pleasant experience for him. Can't hurt any. :thumbsup:
