james90 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Cool stuff man, hit me up with it when you're done and I'll input it at this end i've only done about half so far - i'm wondering if it's worth the $5. it just doesn't seem like it because it used to be free, and had a lot more features back then! edit: my bad. one of the characters i chose costs money http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JozRRZWKJk0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 haha, probably will redo it at some point when i can be bothered thinking up something better musclemuse00, just wondering...do you know if they actually do mirrored headstocks at all now? or was that just because the neck was already finished? which btw was odd, because that mirror topped strat type sherpa_man had was modified for the mirrored headstock after it was completed (headstock was previously satin black). was £310 or something crazy like that though.

Olly. Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 When I asked about getting a shattered mirrored front for the MB-1 tim said that they wouldnt be able to do a mirrored headstock due to the thickness being off (needs to be done as its being made). I guess I'd have to get a new neck made if I wanted it... - So I assume they do do mirrored headstocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 They can always take 3mm off the finished headstock! I've done it to one of mine. Mansons like making excuses for stuff they'd rather not do now they don't need the extra business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mansons like making excuses for stuff they'd rather not do now they don't need the extra business. Exactly, they've got to take thickness off the headstock anyway to bring it to the proper thickness so it shouldn't be to hard to take an extra 3mm off.

Musclemuse00 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 musclemuse00, just wondering...do you know if they actually do mirrored headstocks at all now? or was that just because the neck was already finished? They simply said "The headstock is finished so we couldn't mirror front it but we could refinish it in a different colour if you wanted and reapply the logo" But as others have stated it can be done, Sims charge about £150 to chrome/mirror a headstock so theres no reason why it cant be done, Hugh said black respray would be best and now I have the guitar Im glad I took his advice. James my fingerboard oil came today any advice on how much and how often it should be applied? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooglebug Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 just put a tiny bit on a cloth and wipe it on. then leave it a minute or two and wipe it off again. and do it as often as you think it needs it. shouldnt really need it more than twice a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musclemuse00 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I was considering purchasing this as well http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ax-Wax-Electric-Guitar-Polish-String-Lube-2-in-1-/320578231832?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV Seems to do everything hope theres not a catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem right that the same product should be perfect for conditioning the fretboard as well as protecting the frets and strings, lubricating the tuners and polishing the finish. Those just seem like too diverse a range of applications. Having said that I'd more than be happy to be wrong, all of that for under a tenner is a bargain!
