james90 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Anyone think this is a step closer to a Czech made MB series? Not really, though I was expecting the DR-1 to be a little more expensive (considering the black MB-1 without X-Y would go for over £3000) Also, bridge humbucker in the son of delorean? edit: Oh. I didn't see the part about being made in Europe and not specifically the UK. Fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCantEditSam Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I've emailed them about the DR1. Much wants! Is this the green guitar that was kept a secret? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So have I ... and the SDL-1 Yeah that's what I'm guessing. It said he already had two during the recording of the album, so it must have been one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said he already had two during the recording of the album, so it must have been one of those For the green one, Adrian says they're still working out how long/how many will be made. However, the first 99 will have their respective number stencilled on it like the #02 on the one at the show. Matt has number 01 with "extra gadgets" in it. After number 99 is built and sent off, every one after will have the number 77 stencilled on it. No set number on if this will be a continuous availability with "77" or if they will set a limit to it. As for the DL-1 and SDL-1, those also haven't been sorted on how many of each will be made. Right now the magic number is 25, but Adrian said they're still working the specifics of it's going to be 25 of each or 25 total combined. Tim says they are still working the kinks out in the mystery patented guitar. They also want to do a bomber run in the future, but they need to find someone to source the chrome job to their standards. Don't expect a copper bomber series due to the complexity of the job. I spoke to Hugh and his big announcement was they're going to move the Works to a bigger location to help facilitate the demand and the fact that Matt himself has 24+ guitars at once between rigs A and B. They will be staying local in the Exeter area with the new location. Sorry I didn't post pictures yet. I was having reception issues, but musecasters took care of it on Instagram during the announcement. I'll post later when I'm settled back in London.

james90 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Cool thanks. I would think 25 of each would make sense, since they're based on different guitars. Any idea if they discontinued the MB-1? I'm guessing yes, at least temporarily Waiting for my email reply. It's as if more important things are going on at this very minute... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Yeah not feeling the green guitar. What with the stencil font and all it looks like some kids GCSE project that you see being used in shockingly shite YouTube covers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Oh shit you're right Do you like the ali top? Seems like that's pretty close to the real one, though they seem to offer different pickup choices, and the swirls are optional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Couldn't get any signal all day No MB-1S' which is shocking and pretty annoying... the first quarter of next year is when they should go into production though. Apparently I'll definitely be getting one but this constant wait and push back of release dates is getting irritating. They're thinking of new finishes for the runs... stuff like black gloss, glitter and even carbon crossed Tim's mind Good news is I played MA-X and I am fucking blown away by it. I'm definitely getting a MA-X custom asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be cool if they did aged nickel covers on them, but still looks swish. Gotta be the best looking MoC next to copper bomber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely getting the P90 set in mine anyway, rather than what that one has I'm steaming at 6pm and i've thrown £300 towards the Green thingy !!! Could be worse. You could have done what I did.

Anyone know the significance with 77? Really excited about the possibility of a bomber series, even though it's probably a couple of years away.

jonbrown Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 am i the only one that thinks the Ali Top doesnt look all that sexy? it looks a little too polished and not as rugged and raw as the original. not to mention the ugly black floyd rose and tuning pegs. and that string retainer... just eugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Matt played his for almost 9 years. So yeah a brand new one may look a little cleaner. Let's face it, besides the MB-2 SE run you're never going to get his exact guitar fellas. Look how clean the DL models are compared to his actual delorean and the red glitter on the MB-1S. And think about it, the MB runs always have MBK pickup selections (minus the hot p90 in the DL neck). Adrian did say at the show the "swirl package" will probably include the swirls on the pickups as well. I was personally surprised to see the vol/tone knob layout the same as the SDL vs Matt's standard layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be getting the MBK and sustainiac I can't decide between the DL-1 or a custom. Adrian and Tim didn't help after talking to them for a bit haha Did you discuss your custom specs with them? I always end up changing my specs during the build for some reason. Probably because I send them the original design five minutes after coming up with it Now's the time to get a DL-1 if you're considering one!
