james90 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I mean the other chromey bomber xD the one that was built around the same time as Simnos chrome one I think http://www.musewiki.com/Chrome_Bomber_Manson oh right i'd assume matt's was going to be plain chrome to begin with - after all, that's what he was going for with the original bomber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthWenus Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I get a stiffy every time I look at that guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a manson neck, though it has the S-style headstock that they do (or one of them anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 No I can confirm its a super strat neck from an Ibanez, or so Hugh said to me! that's interesting - i assume it's because there wasn't much time to build that one BTW, what are the switching options with the two bridge pickups in your new guitar going to be? I remember hearing that the black X-Y manson (the first one with that pickup configuration) had them wired together as a humbucker, but later on had them setup differently? edit: haha those are basically twins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil. Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 haha Simno your chrome job defintely looks better than matts! It looks a lot smoother and more rounded whereas matts looks as if it goes a bit funny right on the top. And the way the chrome on your horn follows the curve on it looks a lot nicer than on matts too. Were the bodys meant to be identical at all? Also, you can really see the fret size difference between the two! Do you know what size yours are Simno? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
