Bs Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yeah, must be. So they will technically be production line guitars now then, while the shop will be for the custom jobs I assume? As long as they aren't finished before September then I'm alright. Just the last £1000 or so is probably going to be helped significantly from student loan money, and I won't get that until the end of September XD Models/Options available for 2011 MB-1 Matt Black £3199 MB-1 Red Glitter £3399 Options Add MIDI Controller Screen Add £309 inc VAT Custom Hardware ADD £249 including VAT About £100 more expensive I think? So instead of £3599 for the Red Glitter XY, It's £3708 I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 About £100 more expensive I think? So instead of £3599 for the Red Glitter XY, It's £3708 I think? Yeah it's £100 more. My red glitter with X-Y came in at £3599 (£3062.97 without VAT ) Not bragging though, since shipping is a good £250 + customs afterwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly. Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 And yeah, I should have celebrated! I recall I had mine put aside january 29th, but they received the deposit on february 3rd. The guitar was finished on september 13th (sent out the 14th), but I received it on october 2nd. Yeah I had one put aside on the 30th, deposit 3rd feb. Oh the joys of waiting from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Was the 3rd Feb when you sent the deposit or just when thy received it? So like I sent my deposit within about 15 minutes of receiving the email and replying to the two addresses to say I wanted to purchase one. So should I get a confirmation today, or have to wait till the end of the week maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yeah I had one put aside on the 30th, deposit 3rd feb. Oh the joys of waiting from there Yeah, over HALF A YEAR of waiting wasn't bad at first, but once I saw other guitars rolling out, I got a bit impatient Not too bothered about the DL-1 at the moment since I have something to keep me busy...apparently it's going to be less of a wait with those though.

Bs Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Might have taken longer as an international transfer though? Unless Olly's was the same... Also, is it a bit wierd that it feels rather like I've just impregnated Mansons, I'm waiting for the confirmation email that tells me they're pregnant, and then I have to wait 9 months for my baby to pop out?

It took a while because it was international and was over the weekend I think. But I know Olly got his order confirmation just when I did...no idea when his deposit got there.

Bs Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Fair play then. When I called up earlier (Kageeby had PM'd me saying he'd got the email but I hadn't received anything and wanted to be sure), they said they had absolutely loads of people that they had to email about it and it was taking a while to go through them all, and might not even be finished today So fair to assume they want to get that out of the way before starting on the confirmations? Anyway so far I've. 1. Replied to the sales@mansons email saying I want to purchase one. 2. Also emailed the sales@mansonsguitarworks address with the same message as directed in the email they sent. 3. Sent my deposit. 4. Emailed both addresses with the reference for my payment Not had any replies but I've done everything right, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I did was... 1. called up and asked to reserve one 2. sent deposit 3. emailed saying I sent deposit 4. received email confirming they got the deposit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 It might have been done differently this time around but the account details were included in the original email. As per previous runs of the MB-1 the guitar is only available in strictly limited numbers, in this case just 25 and will be sold as past releases to the first 25 customers that forward a deposit of £1,000. How to secure an MB-1, edition 3. Please read the following - if past releases are anything to go by we strongly recommend you do not delay in responding! 1.If you want an MB-1 signature guitar please notify us by return e-mail immediately. At this stage you do not need to confirm the exact model you require - e.g. colour, hardware or screen option so do not worry about that information today unless you have it ready. Simply reply stating you wish to purchase an MB-1. Please e-mail your confirmation to this address AND sales@mansonguitarworks.com 2. Forward your confirmation deposit of £1,000.

Then, sit back and wait for confirmation of completion of your Manson MB-1, pay the balance and wait for the guitar to arrive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Ha! I don't know. I just like to be sure. I'd rather check too many times and be sure everything's going to plan, than make one mistake and fuck everything up! Specs will be the same as yours so I've got another £2708 to find somewhere!

Lord MFC Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 yeah, i had made up my mind with a custom build until i saw this and thought, shit, i need an mb1 while they're still a bit rare! hmmmm fuck it, custom build it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Do we reckon factory for the DL1s/MB1s and shop for the customs then? Seems to be the way it's going from the email today... Anyway yeah it's up to you...I'll probably go for a custom in a few years I expect (see what you people have done to me =P) but I'll have to see what my financial state is...What's the average Manson custom price anyway? Depends on the materials I assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
