Its perfectly balanced, exceptionally ergonomic, everything is easy to reach, its light, flexibility is unmatched, tuning is stable, floating bridge is superbly smooth, and it can sound great in about any context. I can speak to the Majesty's quality - its an impressive instrument. You could consider using an 'acoustic preamp' pedal of some sort to augment the sound as well if authentic acoustic tones are important to you (that would be true of any piezo system, not just a Majesty). It will, however, be useful for sound reinforcement when tracking, playing in stereo, or trying to approximate an acoustic sound at a gig without the overhead of an acoustic guitar/feedback/hauling/etc. At the end of the day a piezo isn't going to compete with a beautiful acoustic with stereo+ mics. The EQ controls can help, as can the source you're plugging into (and notably speaker selection). If new is too much, keep your eyes peeled on the used market, you can find good deals there. Seems like it really comes down to the feel and fitment and the PUs. I am trying to get both here at the same time, but don't think that can happen. Is the feel and fitment of the Sterling Majesty much different than the MM Majesty?Īre the LiquiFire and Crunch p/u a major step down from the rainmaker, dreamcatcher?Ģ019 EBJPMM Enchanted Forest Blem - Nothing Noticeable w case $2919Ģ020 Sterling Majesty Flame Top Royal Red B Stock with bag $1090 I would feel a lot better with an extra $1800 in my pocket. Don't think much of the Piezo.Īre there any tips to making the piezo sound more like an acoustic? I did not mess with the EQ on the back, but I don't think EQ will fix it. I love the feel, fitment, looks, neck thru and the weight of the EB Majesty and the wang is fine. Mahogany set neck with 3-way pickup selector, and 12dB “Push-Push” volume. It is 3x the price of a Sterling Majesty with stainless steel frets, and DiMarzio LiquiFire and Crunch Lab Pickups. The 20 db boost is nice but I can get 12 db on a Sterling Music Man. I really like the guitar but don't love it. I've been trying out the 2019 EBJP Majesty with the rainmaker, dreamcatcher, Piezo and 20 db boost.
