Ernie Ball Music Man Majesty

I tried out Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci Signature Guitar Majesty some few months ago at a local guitar store and I really liked it. I have been a fan of Dream Theater and John Petrucci since my radio days in the 1990’s.

My first choice was the Polar Noir model (black). I always like guitars in neutral colors such as black. Then I saw the Iced Crimson model (red); I like it too. Why not add bold colors to my seemingly all-black gears.

Fast forwards a few months, I finally saw the Arctic Dream model (as pictured above) in person. The color-shifting paint-job is amazing. Under certain lighting and viewing angle it is radiating the color green, purple and sometimes black.

For a brief moment, I thought that I should get a 7-string model; as it would have been the first in my arsenal. I then decided to get the 6-string model.

Just a few days ago, an Arctic Dream Ernie Ball Music Man Majesty was delivered to my office. It will take me sone times to get familiar with this San Luis Obispo, USA-made instrument.

Dunlop Straplok

Dunlop Straplok Balck Hardware

I have just purchased a new electric guitar from Amazon.com and it comes with Dunlop StraplokI pre-installed. I’ll write more about purchasing guitar online later on as I am still struggling with a few issues.

I then decided to install Straplok on my old Gibson SG I which I purchased back in 1994; obviously it was used.

I also purchased an Ernie Ball guitar strap with the Straplok.

I realized that I should install the Straplok facing outward since Gibson SG neck strap button is on the back of the body. The same goes with my new guitar.

Install the retainer clip and it is done. Obviously, I installed Straplok the other end of the strap too; facing inward.

I’m ready to rock, with less chance of having the guitar to fly out when I spin it around my neck.
