rust_relic Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Does anyone know a good free program for mac which is good for guitar mock ups + a tutorial or something? Or can someone do it for me if I PM them? I have this EPIC idea for a guitar' date=' I just need to see it... [/quote'] I used this to design my custom guitar a few months ago, it's good if it is based on an existing design, not if it isn't. It was only a basic design, we got the rest by stripping apart my Telecaster Plus and getting dimensions & outlines from it! http://www.yajimastringworks.com/tct/yswtct-kisekae-e.asp Still has to be painted, wired & setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 whaaat i didn't know it was nearly finished! looks great so far, would be tempted to leave it natural! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rust_relic Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 That was just a dry build to see if it all worked out ok, it's been shipped off for painting, hopefully will be finished in about a month. The neck was bought from Phill a few months back A few people have mentioned leaving it natural but love sunburst Telecasters This is on topic - Manson's supplied the bridge pickup, sustainer & tuners and will wire it and set it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rust_relic Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 It sold about a week after I took it down there, It was a lovely guitar but something had to go to pay for the CE-7 http://en-gb.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=552361528113198&set=a.193935617289126.57808.143172872365401&type=1&theater The MBK-1 in the bridge was lovely, had more dynamics than the MBK-2, can't recommend these MBK Manson pickups enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hey Bs, what did you have for the hex pickup on your custom? was it a roland or a graph tech? Sorry, James, I was down in London for a Godspeed You! Black Emperor show. It's Graph Tech saddle inserts fitted into a ZR bridge...I'll be running it through a Roland converter though...

Guest Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 nice what are you going to have done to your second one exactly? Thanks I'll kit my second MA-2 with a sustainer and MIDI screen. Adrian said he'd sort me out with a MIDI screen since I bugged him for ages about them. They're planning on releasing the MIDI screen option to the public soon, for £355. I still need to find out whether it's a MIDI mini or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still need to find out whether it's a MIDI mini or not. that's cool, do you know if they can do this mod to existing guitars? I imagine so, if you're buying a MA-2 and having it modded afterwards and probably smaller than the MB-1 screen anyway - there's a bit less room on the body and Bs, what roland gear are you going to use with it?

Olly. Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hah when discussing my custom with Hugh he tried to convince me to put a midi pad in at the bottom, also tried to get me to go mahogany (which I might actually do now). He also said he would drive around in his car with it trailing off at the back to relic it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly. Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 will the burst look the same though? assuming you want the one like on my tele (which is ash) My only concern with ash is the grain can be pretty fierce looking, depends on the cut I guess. Mahogany: I guess it might be a bit darker with mahog though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord MFC Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 There's an article in the local Teign Valley area newspaper about Hugh Manson/manson guitars generally, it's pretty lol worthy (their words for MIDI screens are fucking hilarious) do you want me to scan it?

Lord MFC Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 YES The best part is this: Top: Matt Bellamy in action with one of his custom Mansons guitars; left, Dave Grohl; above, the Mansons Lap Phone made for John Paul Jones Lap Phone? oooh and sparkly red custom guitar with built in light panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The best part is this: Lap Phone? I'm guessing "Hrohl" is a typo And yeah, the purple sparkly thing. I always thought it was called hang steel though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No! they include a picture of that blue glittery weird guitar with a mirror scratch plate though... It's basically about Hugh's life. I'll still scan it though!
