MegaEBoy Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Hello, I imagine you are just as interested as I was, Then, also confused. I was in the Mansons Guitar Shop, and I was being cheeky and trying out all of the Mansons and I took a peek inside the workshop, and Lo and behold, I saw a body and neck of a 007 Manson, Whether this was Matt Bellamy's guitar being "renovated" or maybe a custom order, but then I thought, maybe a Signature series? I BLOODY hope so! Maybe a Bomber to follow? Tell me what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I BLOODY hope so! Maybe a Bomber to follow? Tell me what you think! Highly doubt it to be honest. Matt doesn't even use half the stuff on that guitar, so it would be pointless doing that one. Same way they left out the piezo and GK-2 on the DL-1. It might have been one of Matt's guitars, or maybe someone was having their MB-1 modified. What did it look like exactly? did it have the copper plate and everything? Bomber is probably the least likely to happen because chroming is unpredictable and can end up looking horrible.

It was an EXACT copy of the 007, Copper plate, Midi strip, Fuzz factory slightly off centre and all! i think it may have been slightly glossy, I cant remember too much. Yeah, shame, Bomber is my favorite Manson guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, shame, Bomber is my favorite Manson guitar! hmm...it's possible that it's Matt's. His has a slightly glossy look now after being played for a few years (wasn't always like that). Do you recall seeing those white stickers on it near the controls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic. Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I imagine it's just getting a complete set up right, seeing as they have a break before the festivals this summer. Although, since they're doing an OoS show at R&L, is there a chance that original blackie (with motherbucker) and delorean could return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if he's bringing back the delorean - I don't think people outside of KnT will be bothered about that though I don't know if he'd have the motherbucker put in just because of that. I would assume he'd keep it how it his now because it's his favorite one to record with apparently. He should buy a couple of ibanez destroyers though......

Cosmo57 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Haha, yeah, I emailed them enquiring it's purpose, awaiting on a reply, I'll paste it on here for you Musers! You'll most likely not get a reply. I have emailed once or twice about things like this (like, I asked about the Glitterati, and if it would be put in display etc) and received no response. But when I emailed asking about bringing my Strat in and stuff like that, I got a response the very next day. Just saying, I think they discard emails about things like this and just focus on customers who are making enquiries about the shop/services/getting work done on guitars etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I think that's very accurate actually. If you're just asking general questions, you probably won't get an answer. If you're asking something as a prospective customer, you probably will. Although they're incredibly busy at the moment so I don't know how quick their reply times are even for things like that.

Lord MFC Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 also, they're probs just filtering through the important ones and slowly repying to all the "OMGGGG YOYU GUIZ KNOW THE BELS0RRRR YOU GUIZ R G0DZZ" emails slowly over a number of years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 At least they don't send out some kind of "Thank you for your correspondence. Your e-mail is important to us." thing!

matthijs Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I always found this guitar sounding kinda weird, as if it had a low bitrate or something... perhaps I've just heard bad recordings of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaEBoy Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 Bet its Matts having a restoration as its his oldest touring guitar But, would it not make sense after they did a DeLorean, which was Matts first guitar, maybe they are doing them in order: DL 007 Laser? Bomber Earls Court Chrome Bomber etc Would be epic if they did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber Earls Court Chrome Bomber etc Would be epic if they did! No it wouldn't. To be fair, to most people (apart from on the Muse board) the blackie would be a fairly hideous guitar, what with all the crap jammed into it. So it'd cost loads to manufacture it, and then who would buy it, seeing as there are already two (three if you count the two different MB1 colour schemes) signature guitars. Plus, I imagine Matt would still want his own guitars remotely personal to him, rather than have each one copied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Manson Signature guitar has sold out more than once, and I'm sure there are more than 25 people who want to get their hands on Blackie!

Every Manson Signature guitar has sold out more than once, and I'm sure there are more than 25 people who want to get their hands on Blackie! It wasn't. The DL-1 was announced back in april 2009, but it didn't have a name and they didn't actually go ahead with it until october 2010. http://mansons.co.uk/news/2009/30.html And I think what musecasters said is most likely true. Unless that rumor about there being a replica built back in 2001 is actually true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said a Delorean was planned when the MB1s were announced though I think. I just think it's very unlikely we'll see many more sig models. Definitely no chromed ones. I dunno, maybe they'll do an even more limited batch of some mirror guitars, and there was that CE1 rumoured a while ago, but other than that naaah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
