I dunno, I just cant get into some of Music Man's shapes and all.. Ive not ever played any of the Petrucci sigs and kinda like the Majesty tho Ive never played one. But the Albert Lee model and St Vincent ones... Yuck. This new model looks like the Albert Lee but to me, the pickguard makes it feminine looking. Even tho it was designed with Omar Rodriguez Lopez. What you think??

Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.

I dig it and the flower pickguard
was prince's cloud guitar feminine? Probably. But he slayed. Who cares. -
Re: Musicman Mariposa?
I like it a lot. But then, I like the models you mention not liking. And this one definitely feels of-a-kind with those.
What surprisees me is how much I dig the black version. That engraved gold pickguard looks hawt. But I'd probably still buy the pink one, if I were buying one.

Re: Musicman Mariposa?
Music Man is usually good stuff. Don't blame them at all for mining the territory of unusual shapes when Strat and Les Paul variants are played out. The Mariposa has a sort of cheap Sixties Japanese guitar vibe currently popular, and that's OK with me. I've had some that were kickass guitars in spite of being ugly as hell.aka Chris Pile, formerly of Six String FeverComment

Re: Musicman Mariposa?
Yeah, it's sort of an Albert Lee meets an Airline (or, these days, Eastwood) Bighorn. With just a bit of the St. Vincent in the angularity of the cutaway and the way the rear bout pulls back.

Re: Musicman Mariposa?
It looks like an Albert Lee left in the back seat of a hot Florida day, and it melted. I love the Albert. Not feelin' this.Administrator of the SDUGFComment

Re: Musicman Mariposa?
That’s funny, the only EB guitar shapes I like are the St Vincent and Albert Lee. The others are like overly rounded over Strats. The Mariposa looks cool.Originally posted by BloodRose View Post

Re: Musicman Mariposa?
every time I read 'Musicman' and 'new' in one sentence, I can't help but wonder: "what cutting board did they fancy up this time'? I love their older designs, but the Albert Lee, the St.Vincent and now this, are atrocities. Assault to my eyes.
Sorry

Re: Musicman Mariposa?
How to create a MusicMan guitar
Step 1: Get a body blank
Step 2: Attack the body blank with your saw of choice. Use your 3rd grade geometry homework as inspiration for your design
Step 3: Make the body sexy with a cool '50s-inspired paint color
Step 4: Add your signature hardware
Step 5: Seek the archives for an artist's name to attach to the design
DONE!Comment

Re: Musicman Mariposa?
That looks about right! And I am a huge MM fan!
But really, I do appreciate them coming out with new shapes. Even if it isn't my thing, I'd rather have different shapes out there than the same ones I see all the time.Administrator of the SDUGFComment
