Cider Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I *think* the neck is built with an angle. When I leave it on a flat surface, it's flat. The neck pocket itself is flat, too. But when I put the neck into the neck pocket, there's an upward-ish angle? Idk if that makes any sense ;_; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if that makes any sense ;_; It's angled yes, but it's not an upward angle You can clearly see it has a downward angle if you look at the heel of the neck from the horn side of the guitar.

It should have an upwards angle to it, unless there's a shim in there. If there's no shim, and the end of the neck is tilted slightly upwards, then that suggests that the neck pocket does have it.

Stocking Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Seems I'm the only one who actually likes the Red glitter with Tune-o Matic:LOL: Change that button to a switch and the hardware to black custom and it's perfect imo. I was going to get one, but my summer rent is coming out I like it just fine same here actually, I'm saving up for a trip to Nashville so hopefully after or as a Bday present I'll get it for myself. Hell I like my black one so much I might just sell some other gear to get the purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaicen Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 £120 upcharge for the red sparkles?? Seems a bit steep for a mass produced factory guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rust_relic Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 I would say it is a £70 upcharge, the black ones were £499 when first released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Looks like you can get it in America for $550. Tempting... but then again I should probably save for a real Manson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewez26 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Asked not long ago about what cases would fit the Matt shaped guitars, the Hiscox case was suggested but expensive to find one to get it here in Australia, will this fit? https://www.ghmusic.com.au/hiscox-fender-style-electric-guitar-case.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarJov Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 https://youtu.be/o-zkIJ6B9E Not much new information, interesting to see the real guitar and Cort discussing it. Apparently they "heard" the Manson version is really heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We *all* want a Manson, and I'm certain that my Cort made me want a Manson more now, not the other way around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarJov Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I'm not sure if it's the lighting or amount of glitter but does the red look slightly, off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Is it actually lighter? Also I actually think that video makes the red glitter look nicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarJov Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 It's just I always pictured Matt's red glitter as "Fiesta Red" and not so much candy apple red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they "heard" the Manson version is really heavy. Must have read that on musewiki Is it actually lighter? Also I actually think that video makes the red glitter look nicer I'd say so, but not by a massive amount. I don't consider the MB-1 (assuming that's what he's referring to?) as really heavy though.

Jaicen Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 It's just I always pictured Matt's red glitter as "Fiesta Red" and not so much candy apple red. Do you mean Fiesta Red, or Dakota red as applied to Strat's and/or the DuPont colo(u)r charts? Fiesta Red is a pinkish type of red, slightly faded looking. It's nothing like Matt's guitars really. Matt's Santa guitars are TR4 red, which is closer to Dakota red if you're talking guitars. I've not seen Matt's guitars in the flesh, but I've seen a lot of TR4 red tl,dr: Jaicen is a Strat and Triumph car nerd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I've not seen Matt's guitars in the flesh, but I've seen a lot of TR4 red Other way around with me! I don't think I've seen a TR4 in real life before... or maybe I have and didn't realize it. I think with Matt's custom builds (meaning santa and it's replacement), they look a bit lighter than they actually are since they're caked in glitter. Actual colour is pretty much the same as the MB-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 If you've seen a 'red' Triumph car, you've probably seen the colour. They used 'Signal Red' on pretty much all of their cars right through the sixties and early seventies. EDIT: I just checked, that colour was used in the US by Chevy who called it 'Sportsman Red'. FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarJov Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I think you're right Jaicen about the Dakota, although modern fiesta is a red orange I'm so happy they went away with the humbuckers Fernandes. Up for debate, trade an MA-2 in for two Corts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
