Ernie Ball Music Man Ernie Ball Music Man Majesty Electric Guitar Ernie Ball Music Man Majesty Guitar The 2019 Ernie Ball Music Man Majesty 6-String electric guitar features a flamed maple shield seated in a lightweight African mahogany body. A glossy translucent finish on the front and back showcases the beautiful wood combination for a striking appearance. The overall aesthetic package is completed with chrome hardware, Schaller locking tuners and Ernie Ball Music Man super smooth tremolo system. Signature DiMarzio Dreamcatcher (bridge) and Rainmaker (neck) pickups, combined with onboard piezo bridge system, gives the Majesty a more focused, highly versatile palette of tones.

"We designed the Majesty pickups to bring out more of the natural essence of the tone-woods used to make the guitar. The pickups have been optimized to faithfully reproduce and amplify all of the depth, warmth, and boldness that the guitar naturally possesses. The result is a clearer, broader, more pronounced and ultimately expressive tone. It's massive! Technically speaking we smoothed out some of the highs, focused the mids and tightened the low end while slightly decreasing the output. The guitar actually appears louder sounding as a result because everything is more open sounding." - John Petrucci

ESP ESP LTD James Hetfield Snakebyte Electric Guitar James Hetfield's Snakebyte is Some Kind of Monster! ESP LTD's James Hetfield Snakebyte electric guitar may carry the Metallica frontman's name and signature pickups, but with its set-neck construction and locking tuners, it's got features to please just about anyone with a wild and heavy playing style.

Hetfield-Designed Pickups Roar Players on a mission to nail those heavy Metallica rhythm guitar sounds will appreciate the pickups loaded in the Snakebyte. The EMG JH "Het Set" pickups were designed in collaboration with Hetfield himself, to evoke the EMG pickups he's used for the past 30 years. The neck pickup includes ceramic poles and bobbins, while the bridge pickup uses steel pole pieces. The results for both are higher-output and fuller in the low end than the EMG 60/81 combo Hetfield previously used.

Solid Design Breeds Sustain The Snakebyte's all-mahogany body is carved into a wicked body shape familiar to anyone who's seen Metallica take the stage in recent years. Mahogany is a preferred tonewood for players seeking a naturally warm and full-bodied sound. The mahogany neck is set into the body for improved sustain, and is cut in a thin-U neck contour for speedy play. The 22 extra-jumbo fret ebony fretboard features a custom Snakebyte marker centered around the 12th fret.

Thrash Away While Staying in Tune

To ensure the Snakebyte was ready for wild and aggressive players, ESP outfitted the guitar with high-end features like Sperzel locking tuners, and a TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece. Though the hardtail bridge does not offer whammy bar potential, the locking bridge and tuners mean you can beat down on the low strings or make wide bends on the high strings without worrying about unintentional detuning. When you do want to take your sound down low, the locking mechanisms ensure you'll stay in the desired drop tuning without having to constantly readjust the keys.

Features: - Mahogany body in signature Snakebyte shape - EMG JH "Het Set" active humbucker bridge pickup - Set mahogany thin-U contoured neck - Sperzel Locking tuners - Ebony fretboard - TonePros Tune-O-Matic locking bridge and tailpiece - 24.75" neck scale - 3-way pickup selector switch, separate neck and bridge volume - EMG JH "Het Set" active humbucker neck pickup knobs

EVH EVH Eddie Van Halen Wolfgang Special Electric Guitar The Wolfie Special -- Designed and Refined by a Guitar Demigod! The EVH Eddie Van Halen Wolfgang Special is an exceptional high-end electric guitar, designed and refined by one of the greatest guitar players of all time. No mere collector's item, the Wolfgang Special was designed with the needs of true musicians in mind. This Wolfie combines a lightning-fast neck design with two proprietary EVH humbucking pickups to create a guitar that will inspire you to a whole new level of musicianship.

Because Perfection is a Continual Process The EVH Wolfgang Special is a simplified adaptation of the celebrated EVH USA Wolfgang, with a solid basswood body and a beautiful arched maple top. The neck is carved from a single piece of high-grade quarter-sawn maple. The fingerboard is crafted from maple or ebony depending on the finish you choose, with a 12-16 inch compound-radius cut -- which means that every note will intonate evenly at every point in the fretboard, even through your most savage bends and tremolos. It is set with 22 frets with "vintage" size specifications. You'll also feel immediately comfortable with the standard 25.5-inch scale length. The nut is a Floyd Rose R2 locking nut, measuring 1.625 inches across.

Ingenious Hardware Designs The EVH Wolfgang Special lends itself to expressive playing, with its EVH-branded Floyd Rose authentic locking tremolo system -- complete with the pre-installed D-Tuna drop tuning system designed by Edward Van Halen himself. The EVH D-Tuna is a patented design that puts a string locking screw switch on the saddle of the lowest note on the bridge. With this, you can simply flip the switch to drop the E string down a whole step to D, so you can fret your power chords even faster. When you want to switch back to a standard tuning, just flip the switch and you're back with no loss to tuning stability on the string. A simple but ingenious innovation! It's really no wonder that so many great guitarists have been using the D-Tuna since it was introduced in the early 1990s. A set of black EVH-branded tuning machines completes the top-shelf hardware on this beast.

Features: - Basswood body - Black hardware - Arched maple top - Black EVH-branded tuning machines - Quarter-sawn maple neck - EVH-branded Floyd Rose bridge with locking tremolo and D-Tuna - 22-fret fingerboard (maple or ebony depending on the finish) - 3-way pickup switch - EVH humbucking neck and bridge pickups - 2 EVH Bourns pots (low-friction on volume, high-friction on tone) - EVH-branded Floyd Rose locking tremolo

Hagstrom Hagstrom Fantomen Electric Guitar Hagstrom Fantomen Electric Guitar A collaboration between the design team at Hagstrom and the Swedish band Ghost, the Hagstrom Fantomen transports their legendary playability and technical excellence into a new, edgier realm. Hagstrom started with an elegantly asymmetrical solid-mahogany body and joined a mahogany neck using the classic mortise-and-tenon neck joint system. Of course, since it's a Hagstrom, the Fantomen uses the H-Expander truss rod and Resinator fingerboard, providing the ultimate in playing surface stability and optimal tonal enhancement. Together, these components create an incredibly stable, resonant and responsive sonic foundation.

Sharp attack and more sustain With a relatively thin 1" (3.5cm) body, the Fantomen is beautifully balanced and surprisingly lightweight. A 25.5" (648mm) scale provides a slightly sharper attack and more sustain than classic 24.75" scale guitars. A neck joint design that provides total, unrestricted access to all 22 frets will meet the needs of even the most virtuosic player.

Immense expressive range Hagstrom's goal was to equip the Fantomen with electronics that would allow for a varied tonal palette ranging from classic, vintage colors to screaming metallic brilliance. Hagstrom worked with Swedish pickup guru Johan Lundgren, designer of pickups used by artists such as Meshuggah's Martin Hagstrom (no relation!). Lundgren recommended two different humbucker designs: No. 2 in the neck position and No. 5 in the bridge position. The result covers an immense expressive range; from smooth, warm tones to the kind of attack and intense dynamic output that would satisfy the demands of even the most extreme musical styles. Each pickup can be split to single- coil mode by means of push/pull switches incorporated into the tone controls for even more sonic flexibility. This guitar speaks with many distinct voices.

On stage with Ghost You can find the Fantomen on stage with Ghost. You don't have to be a Nameless Ghoul to play it, and you can be sure this guitar is identical in every way to those on stage with Ghost!

Vorson Vorson LT-230-8 Active Lap Steel Guitar, 8-String Vorson Active Lap Steel Guitar, 8-String The Vorson LT-230-8 is a professional quality 8 String lap steel guitar custom designed by Vorson's team of player /luthiers for exceptional performance on stage or in the studio. Many elite lap steel players prefer the expanded range of an 8 string that allows you to play fuller chords, and more interesting inversions, because you have more notes under the bar. With 8 strings you also have a wider range across the strings opening up new variations playing scales, runs, and arpeggios. The LT-230-8 features a 30 fret maple neck and a solid mahogany body with a deeply quilted maple top and matching headstock. The LT-230-8's expanded range is powered by Vorson's exclusive VSY-3+ Tone / Active Electronics and EQ coupled to a custom designed 8 string Master 100 pickup.

Note: The LT-230-8 is not a converted 6 string lap steel and the nut, bridge, fretboard, and pickup are specially designed for 8 string spacing so no cramped strings. If you can play a 6 you can play the Vorson 8, and you will light it up! Available in Translucent Blue, Translucent Red, and Translucent Vintage Sunburst and ships complete with a premium padded bag, tone bar, and cable.

Washburn Washburn RSD135-D 135th Anniversary Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Washburn RSD135-D Acoustic Guitar To celebrate 135 years as one of America's oldest guitar brands, Washburn has built 135 commemorative limited edition RSD135-D 135th Anniversary acoustic guitars based on its 1937 5246 Dreadnought. These 135 instruments will be serialized starting from year 1883 and ending with year 2018. The Washburn Revival Series Solo Dreadnought 135th Anniversary (RSD135-D) is made in the U.S.A. at Washburn's custom shop and features a body shape resulting from a direct tracing of the 1937 #5246 Solo Dreadnought. Sonically, the 135 is a loud, rich guitar benefiting from its Solid Sitka Spruce with scalloped- X "Moonwood" European Spruce bracing paired with African Mahogany, as well as its bone nut and saddle. Cosmetically it draws inspiration from the original #5246 with a Washburn "smile" bridge, Revival '30s style headstock and Solo Dreadnought tortoise pickguard. Optimizing player comfort was considered on the 135 pairing this vintage creation with a modern narrow-C shaped neck and Graphtech Ratio-Tuned tuning machines.
