at last a good picture... that looks fantastic mate!!!:)

did u say Mansons did the body, any close up pictures of the metalwork?

[Richardlester1989]

at last a good picture... that looks fantastic mate!!!:)
Thanks :D, yea they did, aluminium plate on the front, texture aluminium paint on the back and side and headstock, cost alot though :-S

i'm thinking of building one from scratch (or at least get a routed blank body from warmoth) and doing another one with different pickups and effects in it but in the proper shape (likes yours) once i've bought a new amp.

What is the scale length and radius of the Mattocasters (Official ones)?

Im just wondering if its a reshaped Les Paul type guitar.

read the quotes, noone cares about your balsa wood when musecasters is around :)

[Jaicen]

Hehe, yeah Jackplug's right. I don't think there's much chance of me ever pullin a rock pose like that ;)

[mranonimouse]

So what is the scale length and the fretboard radius?

[Jaicen]

So what is the scale length and the fretboard radius?

The scale length of the Laser is 25.5", same as a strat/tele, and I believe it has a standard 12" radius. It's reasonable to assume the other guitars have the same specs.

edit: It's his mate; who now owns that guitar, Jaicen just built it.

Oi!

did you just order in a strat neck?

[Dramatic Hammer]

Shut up :).

[Jaicen]

I didnt' work from any blue-prints, I basically designed the guitar myself using common measurements. The neck is completely custom built (by me) to have a deeper angle on the headstock, and a very narrow width. Sorry.

[kp...]

Well it's a cross between a Les Paul and a Telecaster.

i would say its just a pacifica with a larger top horn and a cut down bottom horn...cause he did have it based on his old pacifica?

is it a mattocasteR??!!

[Jaicen]

Actually that stuff bends real easy if you take some care and use a little gentle heat. If you're too rough with it or it gets too hot the mirror will distort or bubble, but it's certainly a whole lot easier than bending and filing Alu!

And FWIW, the chick is HOT!

[originalboywonder]

Hi there, I'm new :D

I'm considering building a guitar inspired by the Mattocaster, a cross between a Tele and a Jag. The only problem is the chrome/metallic finish. I've neither the resources or the experience to do it myself. Other than Sims, is there anywhere else in the UK that will do it for a *reasonable* price?

Don't bother, just get one from warmoth.

So it is a good point...

[Samcoma]

No you asked for a replica of one. Totally different of course.

Could someone lock this please?

[the_man361]

very funny. you should be a comedian

i was actually trying to inadvertently suggest you design your own guitar if you're getting it done custom, as if you want to get something like a manson it will only really be worth getting one from hugh.

if you're getting it made by someone else, why not have some creativity with it and incorporate something original that suits your own needs, rather than something matt thought up a while back that isnt really original now? i can think of a fair few things i'd love to include on a guitar if i were able to get one made for me

p.s. why did the chicken cross the road?

I'm working on a MoC-bass (luthiery thread). And, another friend would buy the Black one. If yes, I think I'll refinish the first (shiny ali top) with textured grey back, not shiny top, Motherbucker and new P90 (hb size) in neck position. A mix of 'Shatter' and 'Delorean' (Delorean 'Mb1').

guiz, is there a thread to discuss manson guitars in general? might be a good idea, seeing as there are lots of them that pop up whenever there's something new

No?

[ggeb]

@hi Phill,

I bought the wood to a good guy on a luthier-messageboard (i believe he works n a sawmill). I bought two "pieces" of wood for make bodies. This first for the MoC and the second for a Telecaster with a bubinga top. Not finish but I think trying to finish it if I have time, 'Manson Tele' like. Spoiler :



Sipo is a very good mahogany-like

anymore tele pics, ggeb?

[ggeb]

Ohi James,

The body is in my garage for quite some years. The project has not progressed, it was for a friend who had the idea to put a lot of crap in it (midi ribbon, FuzzF modified, some stuff ..). And finally, he would be simpler. But, but this is the guy who wants to buy the Blackie.

So, I'll maybe keep that body, and try to do something. The Elec-cavity is really huge. In "L" shape. I reduced the thickness of the body to put a 'back wood' for cover everything.

There is a thin Maple layer between the Bubinga and Sapele too, looks good.

I may have one or two other pics. I'll edit this post if..

http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/4533/resizeofmai004sm9.jpg

Very old pics, it would look a bit of that.

I love this Mansion Tele, I could try to do something like this

@James : reply, last post - precedent page : )

[james90]

@James : reply, last post - precedent page : )

looks good - not sure about having all the extra electronics and stuff on a fancy piece of wood like that, but if it's already been routed, i guess it doesn't matter.

i wonder how a maple board would look? my quilt top has a maple board, and while i love how it looks and think that a maple board is best for it, something just looks great about that ebony board with a black pickguard (referring to that manson tele you posted)

[ggeb]

Maple fretboard looks good with this kind of top (quilted or flammed maple) like your Manson Tele, yes, but I prefer, personnaly, rosewood fretboard. (& ..dark-rosewood, Ebony..) :)

I take this post to ask you. These two 'Tele Manson' are you? The second, yes ? but the first, too ?

http://a.imageshack.us/img175/3448/13291large.jpg

http://a.imageshack.us/img30/4163/13301large.jpg

With flammed maple, looks güd too, but Quilt'd is better.. :)

http://a.imageshack.us/img808/8844/17551large.jpg

Edit: For the body-Tele-bubinga top .. Not routed for the moment. There is just the big elec-cavity. If I keep this body for me, the guitar will be very simple... just a Telecaster.

[james90]

That's cool.

The one in the middle is mine. I've got one similar to the one on top which I bought a year after - it's birds-eye and rosewood, rather than flame maple.

That guitar had the most amazing flame neck I've seen

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i87/BlackHolesAndRevelations/miscguitarstuff/Image208-1.jpg


I don't know what I like more to be honest...for looks, I think in this case, I'd prefer maple, but for sound, it's hard to say. In feel, I prefer rosewood, but..that wouldn't really work in this case at all. either ebony or maple:

One also has an open coil neck pickup, which is a nice touch.

It's funny. Usually, I HATE gold hardware. But on these "Maple/black binding Teles" and on this "burst/Mbk-set Tele"... I'm just in LOVE (bigyellowtext allowed)

Okay James :) ..fact, this neck is amazing. (and yes, the open'd neck pup looks very good)

[vinnydu11]

I'm french, and i don't speak english very well!

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=1823 :)

[james90]

looks great, what are the specs? and can we have some more pics to show the finish?

[adds]

thats looking great at the mo. keep us updated :)

you can get them from maplins. i got some years ago

what're they like? similar to matts? thinking of getting some now.
but I think 4 like in my avatar wouldn't look right. suppose i'll just have to get a FF installed so i can justify having them :D

[Olly.]

oh sick I want some for mine as well, cheers

[IIIAliAsIII]

It's not Manson replica but it is at least inspired by Matts Mansons :)

Isn't it supposedly better to have a delay at the end of the fx chain? Unless you aren't using any distortion/overdrive/etc

:LOL:

The only practical use I can see for a built in delay is like at the end of Hyper Chrondiac Music, when you can change the time settings and make it make weird noises, without having to be Jonny Greenwood and bending down to change the pedals.

Plus, the Behringer delays are pretty good, for the money. Comparable to much more expensive delays.

WAIT :eek:

Matt Bellamy has a delay built into his guitar? Where can I get hold of one?

Well I didn't know there so many jokers here... :P

I just used some old and cheap equipment that I had at home instead of selling or smashing it on stage :)

And it's not just a delay what I put into it...
First is Boss MT2 distortion > push button kill switch > Behringer delay.

And I admit it... the way I did the body work is the most funky thing in the world :D

I don't possess PWOPER tools, so I had to experiment a little with a drill and some other instruments of the extinct :)

Hi guys, this seems like the best place to put this up.

Here is my MB1 replica so far. The only difference is that the body is made from two piece mahogany apart from that it is as faithful as my skills would allow.

Pictures taken on a modern day smartphone are as about as good as any non-DSLR camera to be honest. And not everyone has a DSLR so why feel the need to apologise just because you have a decent phone. manfromcydonia knows what I'm talking about anyway.

[Olly.]

its not to do with the camera its the user, my iphone can take amazing photos when used correctly!

Phill has proved this. a lot has to do with the lighting too.

[Phill]

Yeah, phone camera in shitty light = shitty photo.

[Liam511]

Lighting is the single most important thing for photos - crap light = noise fest. Good light = better contrast and sharpness.

Ive got a £45 camcorder for my videos and I take photos with it too, in dark light theres no point in using it, but if its in natural light (ie outside in the sun) its awesome, ill go take a picture to try and compare :LOL:

cos he had to make allowances to fit the N64 in the guitard.

Its not BAD I mean I did mine off too so I wont say its BAD... But I think the shape is off because he dident cut the body of the guitar out with the right tool and technique. Needless to say If I did the finish I would have done it better...

I've got a factory made silver glitter Manson replica, should I still post it on here if I haven't made it from scratch? Granted, I am modifying it myself (new pickups, painting the headstock, different knobs, different tuners etc.)

[Electricmuser96]

Yeah post it. And what do you mean factory made? A luthier made it for you?

No it wasn't personally made for me and I've no idea which factory made them either, just bought it from a guy on Ebay who said he had the last few. It does seem pretty legitimate though, not just him trying to pass it off as factory made. Apparently there were 100 of them produced? Mine was #99 ha :p

hmm yeah post it

The ones with four tone/vol controls, that you could get in either silver or black?

ooh if its the one im thinking it is, Ive only seen them in black

hmm yeah post it

I'll take a picture tomorrow seen as I don't have any on the computer. I'll do a few angles and show the headstock which wasn't painted nor had any type of branding on it which seemed a bit odd. Mind you, it is just a super cheap version of a normal Manson so less quality is definitely expected (the chips and dents will just be from my silly antics with it though :rolleyes:).

[Jamie™]

those were UGLAY! and apparently fairly dodgy :rolleyes:

It's not a 'normal Manson'. Mansons make custom guitars, the guitar you have is the shape Matt Bellamy orders from Hugh manson, a custom guitar builder. He doesn't make one shape.

[Electricmuser96]

those were UGLAY! and apparently fairly dodgy :rolleyes:

It was pretty dodgy when it first arrived but it's not so bad now but ugly?? :eek: The wood looks a bit 'off' but the scaling seems just right and the finish on the body is gorgeous when it sparkles in light :happy:

Oh and when I said 'normal Manson' I just meant the shape, sorry.

Yeah that's the one I was thinking of, what's the playability like?

[Electricmuser96]

Yeah that's the one I was thinking of, what's the playability like?

When I first bought it: horrible. The action was way off, the nut was much too high and the tuners are still stiff as hell.

Now: Not too bad. I sorted the action out and shaved the nut down so now I'm just saving for some decent tuners. The fretboard is...ok I suppose, a couple of frets are unbalanced and it needs a good oil (getting round to all of this). It's probably a long way off the quality of a real Manson but considering I'm gonna use it to make future mattocasters (thinking of a tremelo bridge) of my own and I bought it pretty cheap then it's not too shabby :happy:.

[Jamie™]

Yeah anything for £100 would be a hell of a long way from a real manson.

[Electricmuser96]

It depends what qualities you want from the guitar. ash will sound different from mahogany for example, which will sound different from alder...same with weight. there are loads of wood types you can use.

But not many guitars have maple bodies, especially solid bodies.

I'd have though this, however it would seem i was wrong after joining these boards

[james90]

So if I'm looking for a light, solid body what should I go for? (Not sure how to describe the sound I want)

definitely ash. it's fairly lightweight, and the sound is pretty balanced.

what is the difference in sound between alder and mahogany?

alder is probably more focused in the upper mids/treble range. it has that 'springy' (?) sound to it.

mahogany is very heavy in the lower mids, punchier, and darker i guess


for what it's worth, i'd say ash is right in the middle of these two.

Good stuff, ash sounds perfect. Cheers :)

Ok I've decided on an ash body, maple neck and matte black finish with sparkle/glitter. Not sure whether or not to paint the neck yet but it should take about a year to make and check everything's done right.

i'd just put a clear satin or gloss finish on the neck. probably easier than dealing with a matte finish and glitter, especially if the glitter starts coming off after a while. (this isn't a problem for the body, but i don't know about the neck)
