frostys Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 They had that one red sparkle MB1 with black hardware forever and it was listed at $10k. No doubt the DL-1 is listed for close to that. So curious about that "custom" MB-1, anyone know why they don't list it anymore? Or sold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbias12 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Imperial Vintage has already pre sold one of the DL-1. They said both will be "fully loaded" and $8500. They're accepting deposits for the last one. I'd rather wait for another batch down the road and enjoy my custom once it's done later this year.

Don't miss this opportunity jbias12. highest spec DL-1 is about £3250 excluding VAT, which is about $4600 (fuck is it?) Then pay for shipping which will be somewhere around $300, plus a few hundred in import fees... it's still under $5500 it seems. Don't miss this opportunity jbias12.

That's a $3000 which is almost 3 quarters of another MB on the next batch... This is terrible timing with my tax return being paid out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that extra $3000 would only get you a DR-1 Go for it, jbias get that very rare exclusive guitar from Imperial Vintage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Anybody have any idea how much it would be for a custom MA with black carbon finish and sustainer? Had my name on the MB list for ages but starting to consider a custom instead if the price is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Custom carbons do look awesome. You should add blue LEDs like James' (can we see it again Jamesies?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Anyone have a price quote on this finish as well as the copper? James90 perhaps?? Afraid not. I think it might have been on the invoice for that MA with the FRX, but I tend to delete the emails with those after I send the payment. Anyone spotted the new guitar yet? He still seems to be using the metal bomber he's been using for a while now. Custom carbons do look awesome. You should add blue LEDs like James' (can we see it again Jamesies?) yeah that was when I first got it though. it currently has a black covered MBK-3 in the bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure i'll go for LED side dots though, so i take it these are cheaper than MB or DL models? I always thought i'd end up waiting until a batch was announced but i've been on the list for 3 years and am always conflicted that the only feature i want on it is the sustainer so i might as well go for a custom which imo looks a lot better too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a custom you'll have your OWN signature model, something people will lust over instead of going "Matt Bellamy guitar". That being said, I really want a red glitter MB-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been a little less if I left the LEDs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wanted to ask you what would be your favourite of the Manson's you own do you think? Yeah I believe so. And it's hard to say. I think either the first one I bought back in 2008 or the MA-X. The black carbon is up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I liked the MBK-2 more. It's because that particular MBK-2 wouldn't work properly with the sustainer for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 :'( Sad thing is that even if I wanted them to redo it (I've considered it...) it probably wouldn't be possible to get the same style. Bloody hell, is that one of the MoC's that got away? Yeah, but the top got damaged a while back, and it now looks like this. Still nice, but I preferred the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I think I actually prefer the new one. Looks a lot cleaner, more of a 'proper' job if you get what I mean. Is the back the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
