You were keeping it to yourself with the intention to buy, weren't you? oh christ Last night I had a dream someone was selling an old MB-1 for $50k on reverb. Sad thing is that it probably will happen someday. Do we know if they're making more MB-1s? I would imagine there would at least be the change to sustainiacs for the next ones.

Not really. It's just if you smack it against something hard enough like I did. What rust_relic said, but it's also a little thinner overall I've found.

Jaicen Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 That's interesting. How does it compare to the proto MB2se? I didn't really like that neck for some reason. Also i'm definitely not getting one. I was close to contacting Mansons about #14, but i'm going to hold off in the hopes of an MB1s or stealth bomber in the new year.

The prototype MB-2 would have the same neck as the MB-1, so it's a bit thinner and has more of a V to it. And you should...I wouldn't be surprised if it went up for sale if it comes back from that review. we don't know either one will happen anytime soon. Plus you'd have the lowest number of the ones we know of. #BraggingRights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I would like to, but I can't get that and an MB, and i'd be kicking myself if I missed out again. I've been on the list for a long time. Besides, If i'm spending upwards of 2k, I want something hand made with highly figured wood. Speaking of, when do you get your Strat-shape Manson?

james90 Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Your Manson Strat It's second hand, so I'm not completely sure. Jaicen probably knows more than I do. I probably have the pictures somewhere. It's not all that different from this, except it has a HSH pickup setup, and a rosewood fretboard http://www.mansonguitars.co.uk/g10?lightbox=imagefxo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Wait what? Rosewood board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Nope, you're right. It's maple. I wonder if it's the same guitar in the picture, but modified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Nope completely different, the only thing that's the same is the silhouette. Yours has a darker more tobacco burst, rather than the reddish on this, different bridge with stringsavers and possibly abalone dots? The neck is a two piece birdseye maple with birdseye maple board (no skunk Stripe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours has a darker more tobacco burst, rather than the reddish on this, different bridge with stringsavers and possibly abalone dots? The neck is a two piece birdseye maple with birdseye maple board (no skunk Stripe). I'm impressed. Have you documented the specs since you played it that time? I realized the bridge was different. No idea what kind the one above has, but mine seems to have a standard strat type bridge with string savers. Thing is, I don't think it was this spec originally. I'd imagine all three pickups were SDs... didn't you say he recently wired it up with the two magic BKP humbuckers? (or maybe it was someone at the shop who told me that, not sure) and it's changing again for what it's worth. White holeyless pickup covers on the humbuckers, and a new middle pickup (also with no holes - should look a bit like a lace sensor). Should sound the same overall, just with a different middle pickup. Proper single coil this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Is there a wiki for James's new guitar? I should write it. I really like that guitar. Hugh told me he'd just re-wired it with BKP's but couldn't remember what BKP's they were. They were pretty beefy though, way louder than the MBK1's in the red MA demo guitar and the Shawbucker in the deluxe strat. Sounds like it will be pretty different looking next time we see it.
