The Guitar Magazine – July 2019

seven-string non-locking vibrato. But Music
Man designed its own seven-string vibrato
some years ago and it remains one of the
most functional, expressive and reliable
units on the market.
From adding shimmers to chordal work
all the way to flat-out divebomb abuse,
tuning will not be compromised. It’s also
recessed and unobtrusive, and the chrome
plate makes for a comfortable surface for
your right hand.

IN USE
When played unplugged, the Majesty
proves to be a very resonant guitar – as
you would expect from a through-neck
instrument built from premium tonewoods,
especially in this dizzying price bracket.
With two pickup selectors, piezo bridge,
coil-split and volume-boost options, you’d
be forgiven for thinking that the sonic
variations on offer are mind boggling,
but after consulting the manual briefly,
activating each variant is sensible and
entirely logical.
