benhs1898 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 No, this one. I even did the labels. By the way, in case it wasn't resolved, I used a Brother P-touch label maker. Also available with White on Black ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaicen Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Played the MBC this afternoon and its, ok. It feels and looks like a £500 Korean guitar. Not knocking it, it's fine for what it is but it's no Manson. The Matt black was not that nice in the flesh, surprising given all the hype about it.

Not knocking it, it's fine for what it is but it's no Manson. The Matt black was not that nice in the flesh, surprising given all the hype about it. Weird. I know of two people that tried it, and one hated it, while the other liked it more than his MA-2. Of course, I never tried it while I had the chance. Apparently there was this guy in the shop shortly before me who was holding it up to a clean amp trying to get feedback off it, and I'm guessing they had to clean it off after that Maybe it's just that one, being a prototype and everything? I was quite impressed by mine - I'd say it's pretty much on par with a high end import Fender (maybe a bit better) I do think the fretboard feels a bit weird. Seems like it's been buffed or something - you can't really feel the wood pores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it's bad, just not quite what the hype had suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also available with White on Black ribbon. Looks very nice! Shouldn't the hi and lo stickers be the other way round though? Always thought Bellamy had his Lo for the regular sustain and the Hi for the Harmonic mode. Or is the Sustainiac switch just reversed as compared to the Fernandes sustainers? Anyways, looking very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, looking very good! The switches on the Fernandes were fitted directly to the circuit board, the switches on the Sustainiac are on wires so can go any way http://guitardesignreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/sustainer.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyndris Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Ah right, didn't know that! Just assumed it was the same for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musecasters Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Ah right, didn't know that! Just assumed it was the same for both. i have an identical sustainer board on my 007 (#NotForSale) but my HI/LO is wired different anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyndris Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 i have an identical sustainer board on my 007 (#NotForSale) but my HI/LO is wired different anyways It's all in the wiring then! Why did you choose to do so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musecasters Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 It's all in the wiring then! Why did you choose to do so? Fernandes boards are pre-wired so couldn't change them. not fussed about too correct as used to this way now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 nice one! they are great guitars! Thank you. The question now is what will be the first song I test on it? I think The Handler perhaps? or Micro cuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 As I have said before mine is ready but I am still awaiting the pay link. I ordered simply the guitar and no upgrades is it too late now to get the upgrades? I was reading on reddit that the pay link allows you to add upgrades to it?
