Ah. You can figure out the acronyms if you are bored enough.
But, new guitar day.
For my 40th a couple of months ago my wife told me to get my bucket list guitar. Unlike the majority here I suspect, that for me is neither a Gibson nor a Fender.
Welcome my 20th anniversary JP Musicman Majesty.
I’ve had a standard majesty in the past and it was the best guitar I’d ever had. So when this 20th anniversary model came out I had to have it.
Specs here if you are interested:

Big thanks to Ed for helping me source this. There aren’t many around the world at the moment and getting one here was a hassle.

That's awesome! I got a Silhouette 20th Anniversary for my big O (as in OMG I'm old!) birthday last year and those dudes at Musicman definitely know how to build a guitar!
Looking at the cavity cover I'm guessing yours has a piezo but cant read what the other extra controls are?

Thanks all. First time I've bought a guitar that came in the factory box and all.
Comes with a signed cert from JP himself too.
Those other controls are gain boost (push pull on vol knob) and a switch to govern if the output is stereo or mono.
Ummm....

There's a Nathan yeast pedal on TM now
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

I don't really know much about it. I just bought it 2nd hand many years ago because I liked the way it sounded.
Ummm....

Actually, looking online at them, I don't think so.
This is an oiled body, the Nathan East ones all look gloss.
Ummm....

For that price, you can come to my house and play with it.
If you are lucky you can try the guitar out too.
