Delorean Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 This is true,but I wanted to make a special guitar.Say,making a les paul,and what?It would be just a les paul,there are billions of them out there,but what about Mansons (Matts shape),I dont think it even reaches a hundred.

Olly. Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Of course it's special, they're custom made for matt to fit his playing style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the gibson les paul was custom made for slash Well, this guy actually: and the shape isn't as 'special' as it once was in my opinion.

Delorean Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 I went into a guitar shop today and have tried some more amps. Now my choice is either a VOX Valvetronix VT30 or a VOX AC15VR (Valve Reactor).The AC15 in my opinion has a better clean sound,although it doesn't have all of those fancy "amps" and effects,but I have also decided on an effect pedal/s. I know that most people say that it is gay buying a multi effect pedal such as a Boss ME-50,but I have found this baby,Line 6 M13,as some of you know it has over 100 different effects and us quite easy in use (sounds great too,way better than a boss one) Opinions?

teej212 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 i would do m13 and a separate analogue dirt pedal. digital dirt isnt too good on those multi fx units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 he didn't say a multi fx. he said get a stand alone dirt pedal for your distortion. if the distortion on the m13 sounds good to you though stick with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't read it properly, Allright,I was actually going to get one anyway,but stil haven't decided which one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teej212 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 i would suggest a rat, goes from a nice overdrive to a chunky fuzzy distortion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Is your body 3 bits of mahogany laminated? looks like two, unless i'm missing something and that neck joint looks cool, just don't have the screws sticking out - we're all too familiar with that....

Phil. Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Nah you can see it is 3 in the first pic. Seems like a very cost effective way of doing it in my mind, three thinner sheets of mahogany would probably be cheaper than say, two much thicker planks of it, wouldn't it? So long as the surfaces are all glued right the way through and across the whole surface I doubt there would really be any difference in sound either!

james90 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 i see it now. i get what you mean, but i thought multi piece bodies are generally joined like this... (see the join below the bridge... it's a two piece body, but same thing) ...rather than how that mahogany is a 3-ply body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delorean Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Is your body 3 bits of mahogany laminated? No,it's one piece. it looks like it is from 3 bits because I was trimming it to the size of the яскндшс in stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there's changes in the grain and everything. Weird. It's all one piece? Didn't realise you could get mahogany that size. Most mahogany bodies tend to be 2 or 3 pieces don't they?
