james90 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 For rich, fruity tone... Some amazing potential for XY guitars now they're available on customs again. I'd be very tempted if I hadn't already got the MB. fruity? Only ever heard Jim use that term to describe tone. And yeah. I wonder what that little toggle switch on the carbon with the X-Y is for... I don't know if they've updated the full sized X-Y to switch patches remotely like on the M1N1, or if it's something unrelated like a coil split Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witz Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I think I'm in love. I was planning to do this with the carbon finish and Midi but it seems they beat me to it still gives me something to aim for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arny Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 If it had a Sustainer in neck position, it would be perfect IMO. Does someone have a soundclip of a MBK2 with the Coil Tap Conversion to hear the differences between single coil and full humbucker? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does someone have a soundclip of a MBK2 with the Coil Tap Conversion to hear the differences between single coil and full humbucker? Thanks Yeah that was my thinking. Personal all I would change is add a sustainer and I would set small flakes of multi colour glass in the epoxy glaze on the carbon fibre to give the finish even more depth! Then it would be perfect.

Olly. Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 And yeah. I wonder what that little toggle switch on the carbon with the X-Y is for... I don't know if they've updated the full sized X-Y to switch patches remotely like on the M1N1, or if it's something unrelated like a coil split Maybe LEDS in the neck? These photos have got me seriously pumped for mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Yeah that was my thinking. Personal all I would change is add a sustainer and I would set small flakes of multi colour glass in the epoxy glaze on the carbon fibre to give the finish even more depth! Then it would be perfect. Interesting I'd also consider an ebony fretboard. Would look great against the carbon finish and black hardware I think Maybe LEDS in the neck? These photos have got me seriously pumped for mine! ooh good point. Excited to see yours as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly. Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I love how non flashy mine will look compared to the mirror/carbon etc haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Yeah an ebony fretboard would be awesome! I personally prefer ebony to rosewood Same. Would you be making your own neck as well? I love how non flashy mine will look compared to the mirror/carbon etc haha I wonder how many of those bodies are going to have mirror/carbon/glitter/etc finishes, and how many are going to be more like the MA-hogany or yours. Probably not one. The MA-X looks like it's been routed through the top... I hope that doesn't mean they're putting a mirror top on it or covering it up with something. I liked the idea of a more traditional hollow body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly. Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 One of them has a sustainer and humbucker with binding on it already so could well be a burst! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witz Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Same. Would you be making your own neck as well? I wasn't sure about building the neck but as I built a cnc machine in my shed I guess I have no choice really, it would be silly not to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
