TastyBassRiff54 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Now what do I do with all of these????? They all look kinda wonky... ahah sorry. Are they made to the same specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Just throwing this out there on a hunch but do you rekon matt has a NEW guitar shape coming out hence bringing out the MB1 model, getting asmuch money as possible from it before showing the new guitar to the world in the new tour? I don't see matt giving up his shape unless he had something better planned. Just a thought seeing as matt wouldn't of wanted his guitars mass produced. This was my first thought. Can someone go and take some covert pictures of the huge workshop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Interesting idea. I doubt it though. He'd have about 14 guitars to throw away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeLulz Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 If i had the money, I'd really consider buying one.. But what the hell? £250 for machine heads and knobs? What are you even paying for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're custom cast aluminium. They've got to be made especially which isn't cheap, it's not something Hugh makes himself. Also the tuners need modifying to take them, so it's not as simple as just picking up the new ones and throwing them on. I guess it's a hassle he'd rather not have to do, and if he is going to, he wants it to be worth his while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa_man Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Intresting just rang up to put a deposit on a alu body guitar but the costings on the guitar havnt been sorted yet. However there gonna come back to me. I was told that the necks arnt built by hugh however there the same quailty as his necks. Also they are what they are you cant change woods neck specs and so on. Also there are no plans for any other colours to be made also finsih so no mirror or chrome models but was told this may change its 100% down to matt what they do and dont do. There are no plans for a new matt shaped guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impulse 101 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'm sure that some of this is Hugh pricing out his pain. If it sucks to do it then its going to cost you more. Besides, no one needs a Matt-o-caster. These are total luxury items, objects of desire not need. Besides, even if we had Matt's entire rig (or anyone else's) rig we still wouldn't sound like him because he's got his own playing style. I went through the same thing with Alex Lifeson and John Petrucci a long while ago. To be brutally honest I liked Matt playing his beat to hell Peavy Wolfgang, his tone was awesome and it looked cool too. The price of these is scary when you do the conversion rates to US dollars right now. Roughly $5k. I could buy two Suhrs or Tylers for that kind of money. Even if I had the extra money I'd only consider getting one of the bomber replicas if they ever became available. That's still my favorite Manson.

cheddatom Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Yeh, I don't really get it. They could have liscensed it out to a bigger company who could do mass produced MB shaped guitars in a range of colours or whatever. It's obviously not purely to make money or they'd have a better business model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
