Jaicen Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yep, the wrong shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I thought they were the same shape as Matt's guitars The body is slightly longer on the screen guitars though isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Yes that's true, but it's because the shapes of Matt's guitars have varied over the years. They're the same overall shape, but aren't EXACTLY the same. http://www.mansonguitars.co.uk/#!untitled/zoom/c1scz/image1qpf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Christ that is sexy. MB-2 SE>MB-1s. How's the weight and feel? The proto was ridiculously heavy, I imagine they've sorted that out? Just noticed that XY is off-centre... urgh! Can't be unseen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rust_relic Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I would say it's about the same weight (or possibly lighter) then my old MB-1, lovely neck on it, getting some lovely sounds out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had sort of noticed the slight differences in the shapes before, especially in the top horn on the Bomber. You got your MB-2 yet James? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Just noticed that XY is off-centre... urgh! Nice, haha! Just ended up going through that gallery for the first time in ages - hadn't seen this one before, wonder when it's from, haha! The logo reminds me of that fake Ibanez that was up on eBay at some point, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JPJ hang steel or whatever it's called looks tame compared to that... And #tomorrow I'm hoping my MA-hogany and MB-2 will arrive. The department of trees went after them again, but that's sorted now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 It's a shame I'll never get my hands on then, I'll just have to savour my time with the proto whenever I visit. Enjoy! Mansion's said they've got big stuff planned for 2014... Anyone got any idea what it could be? M1D1 and/or 007 signature series pls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A doubleneck signature series M1D1 could be a possibility since the body routing is just the same as an MB-1's. I'd be really surprised (and jumping about excited) if they had 007 replicas.

Guest Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I think there was a picture of a double neck custom in production in the guitar works, that'll be interesting to see when it's complete. Yeah the 007 is least likely. Someone with a Delorean should have it modified to look like one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Why do we think there's gonna be a new sig model? And even then I doubt they'd do 007 limited run of mirror mansons enit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Mansion's said they've got big stuff planned for 2014... Anyone got any idea what it could be? I think we're just being hopeful that one of the things they have planned is a new mattocaster. Someone on here recently said that they were most likely to have matt black as the next MB model, I reckon they're right. Either that or mirror, if there actually is a new one. A Bomber sig series will never happen but I can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidious911 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if they started doing something from the latest tour. Possibly a run of the Matt Black guitar, simple setup with the fsk401. Possibly also a run of the Mattocaster 7 strings, or his carbons, red/black ones?

Jaicen Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Agreed, most likely just the simplest they can get away with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yeah, but the thing is that the MB-1S (without the X-Y pad and with custom hardware) is very similar to the matt black. Just a different bridge really, so not sure if it would be worth it It did seem like they still won't do exact replicas of his guitars, so I think the MB-2 is the closest we'll get.

Bs Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 exact replicas Do they have the authentically off-centre XY surround? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Do they have the authentically off-centre XY surround? I never said the MB-2 was exact the certificate says "production replica" so I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
