I know, but I ordered this one before it was press released. Anyway, the Cort is also pre ordered
-
Of course I will play it, but I won't be bringing it to gigs etc. Will be an addition to my man cave.
-
Lol chillax, its not much different having a fake custom made with a manson logo from applying one on a guitar you have made yourself.
-
A little update. The guitar is soon ready, will probably ship in a couple of days. I had them redo the glitter now it looks great in my opinion. Some of you might be a little mad because of the logo on the neck, but again, this is just for the wall and bedroom
-
Yep But atleast they're improving the glitter finish
-
Screw it. Now I want my money back from those chinese people.
-
good point But if the guitar is crap I can always install the kit into my old telecaster
-
Yeh, I'll probably throw away their garbage electronics and install new ones myself. I have just received a fsk-401 kit which I ordered online. Will probably install it immediately as I receive the guitar. Only problem is that I dont want the "sustainer intensity" know. How do I remove it? Do I just cut the cord and leave it?
-
Yeah I actually asked them about the chrome guitars and they told me they will do a replica but in gray/silver color instead:LOL: And yeah, im curious about how it turns out. Will probably immediately change the picups with a FSK-401 kit since the wilkinsons it comes with are kinda crap. Maybe ill buy a mbk-2 from manson for the bridge if it turns out decent.
-
Lol did it look that bad
-
Lol Was hoping for less glitter more evenly spread but hey, it might look better when the hardware comes on.
-
Yes, I guess we will tell when they have assembled it. Chrome hardware and a hardtail bridge, will go nice with the glitter And I went for a plain maple. Could have birds eye for additional 40 $ but I wanted it to be as cheap as possible, so I just went for the standard. Maybe a birds eye if I purchase another?
-
I asked them to send me some more photos. The guitar is now routed and painted (with glitter!) and maybe it'll be ready in a couple of weeks? They haven´t fitted the logo yet so a custom one can be done, any suggestions? (PS: seems like the neck pickup is routed kinda close to the neck?)
-
Well, I just wanted a cheap guitar with matts shape to fool around with, one that I dont have to be too afraid to "toss around". Also, I spoke to a guy who have bought cheap chinese replicas before, and he recommended me to get a cheap one and just throw away the crap hardware they include and wire it up with some better hardware. And since I live in Norway, a cheap Squire comes at the same price so I thought why not. Also, im considering asking them to do a custom logo, since having the manson logo on a fake guitar makes me feel kinda bad, although it might be good advertising (?)

Their website has malware? You think its their malware or maybe they have been infected? Fixed photos.

Yeah, I've seen alot of replicas out there and some of them look crap while some look decent. The ones posted on their website looks quite accurate when it comes to shape but I told them to do some modifications to make it even more accurate. E.g. white fretmarks on the side (which the ones on the site suprisingly didn't have), a black nut, single coil in the neck and battery box routing, since I have ordered a fernandes FSK-401 from the US which I will be installing. Link to the guitar on their site: http://www.rareelectricguitar.com/Matt-Bellamy-Manson-MB-1-Black-Signature-Guitar-sale_1032.html More pics, the black one was for another customer, looks pretty similar to the matt blacks

Hi ! I'm a proud Manson MA-2 owner (note: not MB owner *sigh*) and I have just purchased a black glitter MB-1 "replica" from some chinese people calling themselves "world famous luthiers" over at http://www.rareelectricguitar.com. What I am going to do with this guitar is mainly just fool around with it, insert some effects perhaps and just have fun. Cost me 500 $ included shipping, and I just went for it. But my question is, do any of you guys here have experience with this website? Seems legit too me. They're communicating well through email etc. And secondly, do you guys have any ideas or tips'n tricks regarding effects, pickups etc. (PS: looking forward to those "you were scammed bro" comments xD )
