Phill Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 From the sounds of it they must send out the emails 25 at a time every 7 days or else they potentially have 100s of £1000 deposits. Coming in for only 25 guitars which seems a pretty shoddy way of doing business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drth Ptr Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 My thought's exactly Phill. Unless they just forgot to explain that in the email? It does sound that way doesnt it James, I think I will play it safe and wait for Adrian's response...which I probably won't get till tomorrow since it's about 10PM UK time right now.

Olly. Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Sounds like you email a reply and then wait for them to tell you to send the deposit. Im assuming there are no bank details in the email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drth Ptr Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Actually they did include the bank details I just couldn't fit the whole email in the post, I guess that would've been useful information to share with you! ...should I assume that means I could go ahead and wire the money?

Olly. Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 hmm weird. When I ordered my mb1 I just confirmed I wanted it via phone and then sent the deposit a few days later. Mine seemed a breeze to get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 hmm weird. When I ordered my mb1 I just confirmed I wanted it via phone and then sent the deposit a few days later. Mine seemed a breeze to get That's basically what I did (with the MB-1 anyway), but they're operating things a bit differently now. As for the email, maybe it would be best to wait until you hear back. That's how it worked with the last MB-1s from what I understand, but I didn't get one from that batch, so I don't know. Maybe someone posted a copy of the email on here... I'll have to look edit: As per previous runs of the MB-1 the guitar is only available in strictly limited numbers, in this case just 25 and will be sold as past releases to the first 25 customers that forward a deposit of £1,000. How to secure an MB-1, edition 3. Please read the following - if past releases are anything to go by we strongly recommend you do not delay in responding! 1.If you want an MB-1 signature guitar please notify us by return e-mail immediately. At this stage you do not need to confirm the exact model you require - e.g. colour, hardware or screen option so do not worry about that information today unless you have it ready. Simply reply stating you wish to purchase an MB-1. Please e-mail your confirmation to this address AND sales@mansonguitarworks.com 2. Forward your confirmation deposit of £1,000. We can only, repeat ONLY, accept this payment by direct bank transfer. Please note that the MB-1 Edition 3 will be sold, distributed and built by the new Manson Guitar Works facility, bank details will follow at the end of this mail. We require this deposit within the next 7 days otherwise we reserve the right to move to the next potential customer in the pre-notification list. 3. Upon receipt of your deposit we will forward a confirmation e-mail and ask for your chosen model colour and specification plus details of location so we may calculate shipping, final invoicing and correct taxation for any export sales. 4. Then, sit back and wait for confirmation of completion of your Manson MB-1, pay the balance and wait for the guitar to arrive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drth Ptr Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yeah that's what the rational part of my brain is telling me to do! But then again I believe it was you James that told me that the last run of MB-1 sold out in about 14 hours. Now that I'm coming to my senses, I think Phill was right about them sending it out 25 at a time. They couldn't make a mistake like that and have an over flow deposits. Speaking of which, is it Euros or GBP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drth Ptr Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yeah, I'll wait and see what Adrian tells me. Thanks for clarifying that James. I always have a hard time differentiating between the Euro symbol and the GBP symbol. What I do know for sure if that this symbol ($) sucks right now!

I dunno, the second point in that email says to send the deposit, not "wait for us to tell you to send it". I suppose if you do say you want one then they could reply to tell you you're in then you can send the deposit, ala phill's post. And, go Jimbo! Its not even worth saying I'd love one and how tempting it is to email them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 With the MB-1, I sent my deposit straightaway. However, if you're in the first 25 to reply, they'll let you know and hold it for you for about a week anyway so you can send the deposit then. Congratulations to everyone getting one by the way.

Drth Ptr Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Went to the bank yesterday morning, checked my account last night and the wire went through. My deposit is on its way and should be there within the next few days In the meantime...if the current DL-1 owners wouldn't mind sharing their thoughts on whether I should go with the MBK-2 or MBK-3. I'm leaning more towards the MBK-3 thanks to some feedback I got from James. But I'd like to get a general consensus if all you kind folks don't mind.

According to me and Tim, MBK-3 is very the best option with aluminium finish !!! A loud and heavy sound that I like very much !!! I'm so enjoyed with this sound !!!

Guest Batman. Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I've never owned either guitar, nor heard the MBK-2 or MBK-3 in action properly before, but I'd say MBK-3, because a) Most people say that it sounds good with the aliminium. b) I imagine it'd sound more like the original Delorean, what with the bridge pickup being ridiculously high output and everything.

Dominic. Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Whichever MBK you end up going for, ask if they can do a black coated one! I think it was Musecaster's one that had a black MBK2 and it looked so much better. Dunno if they're still doing them though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
