hellz_bellz Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I am considering getting a guitar similar to the chrome bomber made by Stark Guitars... I know that it is Tim that makes them, but has anyone else used them for any custom builds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly. Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Which chrome bomber are your referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=84686&highlight=stark similar as in same shape? Cos doubt he'll do that. Also not sure how willing they are to do chrome anymore, but I presume if you're willing to pay for it he won't say no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that it is Tim that makes them, but has anyone else used them for any custom builds? Yes I've had one custom built by him, and a second one is currently being built He doesn't do the mattocaster shape, and I'm not 100% sure if he (or Mansons for that matter) have someone to do chrome finishes at the moment.

hellz_bellz Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Olly. This one: http://musewiki.org/images/MansonChromeBomber.jpg Dominic. I dont want a mattocaster shape exactly He has his own solid body shape which is again a modified telecaster type shape here is the picture he sent me I dare say, I like it more than the MOC shape :O James. He said it could be done, but would cost in the region of an extra £500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Actually looks interesting. if you want it and can afford it go for it. It's not as if Tim's a bad luthier, he makes most of Matt's guitars now and has been working at Mansons for ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it could be done, but would cost in the region of an extra £500 Yeah, that's the shape my new one is going to be. The chrome finishes are expensive - mine was originally going to have a black chrome finish, but the company that does the finish was taking forever to finish a test body so we could see if it was any good. Not sure if they got it back or if it was any good...decided to go with a carbon finish instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Black chrome sounds sick. If it's anything near as nice as Simno's black mirror it'd look amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Black chrome sounds sick. If it's anything near as nice as Simno's black mirror it'd look amazing Yeah, Olly did a mock up of a black chrome MoC (or MA?) a while ago - not sure if you saw it or not. Basically would've been the REAL stealth bomber. But yeah, only got positive things to say about his work and customer service. If you can afford it, go ahead Just don't ask for a Sustainer, Fuzz Factory, X-Y midi screen, Midi strip, D beam controller, Piezo/hexpander system, Wah Probe, Boss DD-3, kill switch, cracked mirror front with flashing LED's Well, you could ask for that and he'd probably be able to do it, but still...I feel that I went a bit overboard on my new one even though it's really only got a few extra features Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozo Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 It's clearly inspired by the MoC... Don't really like the shape, don't know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 It's clearly inspired by the MoC... Don't really like the shape, don't know why. Yeah it is a bit. I like it, it's kind of wacky Has anyone off the boards ever got an original effect built into their Manson? Like not a FF, XY, MIDI strip, wah probe etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 to be honest, it reminds me more of something hooglebug would design. I think it's different enough anyway. edit: Has anyone off the boards ever got an original effect built into their Manson? Like not a FF, XY, MIDI strip, wah probe etc. nope, although I've thought about what else was possible. literally can't think of anything that would be useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 to be honest, it reminds me more of something hooglebug would design. I think it's different enough anyway. Yeah the bottom horn seems sorta Hoogle like I do like a lot of Tim's guitars. This new shape looks cool. The orange one he made you looked great, shape and colour. Aaaand the original starkcaster with bigsby is one of the nicest looking tele shapes I've ever seen. Maybe one of my favourite guitars of yours next to FF stealth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellz_bellz Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 James that finish is gorgeous :O I think I will go ahead with his shape, it is different enough and similar enough for me to love it Touching on what dominic said, I am wondering if there is anything interesting/useful I could get installed effects wise?
