Love the look of your new Monarch. After the original AJ double cut shape, I really like the Monarch. Really elegant design. Yours looks more like the older ones they used to build. I think it's the maple (?) top with the ebony board.

Did I miss the release of the Emp Std 5 string fretless or is this a new standard?

I'd love a Monarch Standard 5-string...just saying
I'm hoping for an Imperial 5 (possibly bolt-on) standard...

Thats exactly what I'm hoping for too
It's a new Standard that hasn't been released yet. I believe Jason said it's going to have an ash(?) toneblock.

The E5S Fretless HAS been released but we have not started shipping them yet. They will start shipping very shortly and we ended up doing three-piece bodies on them -- Walnut-Ash-Walnut. It gave us the tone that we wanted and saved almost 1/2 pound weight-wise.
Cheers,
Jason

Sadly I am going to miss all of you at this year's NAMM Show. I just made the decision to stay home and tend to things on the home front. My mother-in-law has been fighting Melanoma valiantly for the past three years but according to her hospice nurse is in her final days.
I had the good fortune of seeing her this past Thursday. She is an amazing woman and one of the reasons that my wife Deborah is the most amazing woman I know. It's one of those times when I wish that I could clone myself and be in two places at once.
Joey, Ken, Phil and Laura will be there to hold down the fort.
Kindest regards,
Jason

ARRRRRGH!!!!!! I totally understand, but the selfish side of me is REALLY bummed about not being able to chat with you in person (again).
All my best and most heartfelt wishes for the family in this difficult time. Peace. Talk to you soon (enough).
Family is number one and we have to take care of each other. Good choice. Take care Jason

Sounds like you have your priorities set right. Thoughts and prayers going out to you and the whole family.
Jason, there will be another NAMM. There won't be another mother-in-law. Went through the hospice thing with my dad two years ago. Right choice at the right time, god speed.
Jason
As a Limey I don't do the 'soft' stuff too well but be strong for and be with your family and, patently, you've made the right decision.
