james90 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 But not just any sock! I wouldn't bother buying a guitar just to do a trade with, but I wasn't sure if he was taking cash offers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 It's possible I guess. He did buy the M1D1 after all, which wasn't built for him originally and was #forsale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it weird that Hugh would make one that is Bellz's usual specs randomly for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 i imagined the M1D1 was one of his favourites, but maybe just because it was one of mine... He used it a fair bit didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was originally built for guitarist magazine, but he supposedly called up and bought it about a week later because it was his shape and all. i imagined the M1D1 was one of his favourites, but maybe just because it was one of mine... He used it a fair bit didn't he? Yeah. It was used for pretty much all the drop D stuff, MOTP, and even some standard stuff (SMBH etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomrulez Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 M1D1 is/was my favorite of Matt's, if I were to get a replica made it would be that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon is my favourite now, back in the days it would have been mirror kaoss or chrome but Carbon rocks so hard with the look, the lightness, the titanium hardware and the awesome delicate holes each hardware was drilled up on to make it super light.

tomrulez Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I imagine it was quite heavy and those mirror tops really aren't the most comfortable to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybobbles Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 accidentally on purpose from that interview it sounds like he smashed up a kaoss pad The other point on all his guitars is that they're usually rushed to be built, and in some cases it means the finish he'd want wouldn't be available. I guess that applies for the MB-2 since that's not really a lacquer job like the m1d1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybobbles Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I imagine it was quite heavy and those mirror tops really aren't the most comfortable to play. it's not too bad if you base it on Olly's m1b1 guitar (weight wise). Carbon fibre is also slab format and it's only uncomfortable if you're sitting down with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'd like to see them do carbon fibre with forearm and rib contours. They could vac bag the raw fibre material and it would match the curves rather than using the pre laminated solid sheets and doing full slabs. I don't blame them for keeping it simple though.

I don't blame them for keeping it simple though. just looks more uniform as slab. definitely doable with vac bag but i guess until someone insists that they want contours, then they can stick to slabs. it's not uncomfortable anyway, think it being light helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I sort of wish I asked for a forearm contour on the one I'm having built. I was also offered weight relief, but decided against it since it's probably going to have a some extra wood removed anyway because of the electronics. probably will be fairly average as far as weight goes. Hoping my three guitars will be here by the end of the week. Haven't received any calls to fill out any unnecessary forms yet. Has anyone seen Bs recently?

Has anyone seen Bs recently? weight relief breathes a whole new life to guitars, its why i enjoyed my parker guitars so much. though would love to have a 2.5kg guitar.

Dominic. Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 new ali with the trem is by far the sexiest and best looking Manson. Shape is perfect and finish is sublime and neck is lush and ital looks insane. Wish it didn't have a trem so he'd use it more often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen much of that guitar, though it seems the Chrome bomber is getting phased out in favour of the AliTrem. Edit: I'm assuming you're not referring to the alloy 7-string.

The mansons photo site has a few, plus I'm sure there's loads on the microcuts.net site of it live And nah not 7 string, nowhere near as fit Sent from Fabri is a nob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
