james90 28 Posted May 25, 2016 Mmmmm, feel the quality Yeah the Heistercamp stuff is really nice. Also, somewhat related bUT THE RED PLATINUM SERIES ONES LOOK GREAT TOO https://www.mansons.co.uk/product/manson-leather-strap-platinum-7902 sorry for shouting It's funny that you got the strap before the guitar. Is it 74 or 14?? I'd want 14 I could have probably got a lower number, but I chose the 90. Even though it meant waiting longer. Picking up the strap next month, but I don't think the guitars will be ready yet. 74, year I was born #oldgit And all of these years I thought 74 was your age! ...wait that doesn't even make sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cider 10 Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) The black/ red strap looks awesome too. I'm guessing it's Heistercamp also? Stop me from getting the green strap and this, guys. I haven't secured a job offer yet. 74, year I was born #oldgit But what about your twin? Now he doesn't get to have #74 :twitchy: Edited May 26, 2016 by Cider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

james90 28 Posted May 26, 2016 He's not getting one now I recall he was trying to get #69 anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
musecasters 10 Posted May 26, 2016 I recall he was trying to get #69 anyway yes i was.....wait are we talking guitars still? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
james90 28 Posted May 26, 2016 yes i was.....wait are we talking guitars still? Seeing as it's kit and tab, probably not. Also, the black switch tip on this one always bothered me. Got a fancy pearloid one that looks great, except it's not the right fit. A bit loose, and can probably come off if you pull hard enough I have the absolute worst luck with these... especially the chrome ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firellama24 10 Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Does anyone know how much extra it is to get black hardware on a MA-2? Like having the black pick-up cover instead of the silver one, black tuning keys and black knobs. Edited May 27, 2016 by Firellama24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
james90 28 Posted May 27, 2016 ? I thought it would be obvious. It's the floor at the works, as seen through the finish on my new guitar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveno1 10 Posted May 27, 2016 Looking into one of the copper guitars as i have recently loved a few of the pics put up. I saw one with two chrome humbuckers and another which i believe was a ma1 with ff and black hardware. Anyone got any pics or more details on specs? I wanna get a quote for one.

Not on those, but I've got the original style MA-2 (not the EVO) with the FRX and a few other pieces added. How can I be of service? :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveno1 10 Posted May 28, 2016 Any pics? I cant decide on chrome or black hardware. Or two humbuckers or sustainer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
james90 28 Posted May 28, 2016 Any pics? I cant decide on chrome or black hardware. Or two humbuckers or sustainer and I don't know. I think this one works because there's a lot of black in the finish itself. Plus I could only get the FRX in black (at the time) so it ended up looking like that anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GarJov 10 Posted May 28, 2016 God I love special finish MA's. Plot twist, I'm putting a red lace dually in the bridge and a blue lace in the neck of my EVO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got a fancy pearloid one that looks great, except it's not the right fit. A bit loose, and can probably come off if you pull hard enough I have the absolute worst luck with these... especially the chrome ones. I finally got Schaller ones that actually fit my switches. They don't have pearloid, but they do chrome if you can stand that. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Schaller-Germany-Chrome-Brass-Switch-Tip-for-USA-Gibson-Les-Paul-SG-ES-HS189-/322116476224?hash=item4affa35d40:g:YecAAOSw5ZBWQweY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
james90 28 Posted May 28, 2016 I don't think those will fit mine. Pretty sure one of the three I have is a schaller, and it doesn't go all the way on. I need two for Olly's mirror (by next month!) but I only had one that fit.... and I lost it And I got the pearloid one to fit a bit better. Doesn't seem to be quite as loose as before.

I thought Switchcraft switches should have all the same size tips. The black tips i got fit both guitars (couldn't really change between the stock tips of the straight switchcraft and angled one,for some reasons ) Try this though James? https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/131614710078 I think Matt had a guitar with the same switch tip at some point?

james90 28 Posted May 29, 2016 I'm gonna come in and say that is not a good idea IMO. For the same price your $$$ will go a hell of a lot further in the used market. You can probably get a Gibson SG Standard for around the same $$$ (a much better guitar IMO). You would definitely be able to get an american HSS strat used which would be so much better than the cort. I get it that people like that it looks like a Manson, but remember that it isnt. Stretch your $$$ by going used. At the end of the day the cort is a cort, a MIA guitar will be better all around and will grow with you as a guitar player. I've sold all my 'cheap' import guitars, but I always keep the MIAs because they feel like real instruments. Muse recorded unsustainable with real instruments. Does that make the MBC-1 inferior?
