READ THE DESCRIPTION.

It's taken rather longer than I expected but this is the first of many guitars built from scratch by myself for a customer. Based on Matt Bellamy's first Manson Custom guitar, the "Delorean", with a few differences.

Body Wood: Fijian Mahogany
Neck Wood: Birdseye Maple
Fretboard: Ebony
Aluminium covering the Body top, Headstock and backplates, with the rest of the body sprayed silver and roughed up in an attempt to match the alu.
Bridge Pickup: Kent Armstrong Motherbucker
Neck Pickup: Seymour Duncan Hot P90
Internal Effects: Zvex Fuzz Factory, MXR Phase 90, with the on/off controls for both, Stab and Comp controls for the Fuzz Factory and Speed Knob for the Phaser Mounted on the front of the guitar, along with a Kill Switch on the upper horn, and your standard Pickup Switch, Volume Knob and Tone knob, and the addition Coil-Tap option for the Motherbucker (splits it down to a single humbucker as aposed to a double Humbucker, nicer for cleans etc.) Via the Pull/Push Tone knob.

Before anyone asks, It cost the customer £1200 in total, but that is excluding the cost for the Fuzz and Phase 90 because he already owned the pedals and sent them to me.

Excuse the playing etc. and ALL MUSIC IS COPYRIGHT TO WARNER, I DON'T OWN THE MUSIC ETC. ETC. *something about using it for education purposes under some act etc etc* so youtube, pl0x dunt delet ma videyuh.

Thank you for watching, and see my other videos for more of my work. (well, currently my one other guitar)

    How do you make that noise? I've been trying to replicate it but never can.

  • @MrMcWeirdo A fairly short delay, with 100% feedback (so it repeats over and over either for a veeerrryyyy long time, or infinitely), then just sweep from low to high with the stab till it gets to full and goes silent. Im pretty positive that's how it was done on the studio track.

  • Wich mark the guitar is ? it's looks like a Manson ¡

    Obviously i can see that is painted isn't?

  • @diana002563 haha ill take that as a compliment! It isn't a Manson, I made it myself for a customer, and Yes, the back and sides of the body are painted, but the top has a 3mm sheet of aluminium.

  • OH MAN, THAT TONE. It's like eating perfectly cooked steaks with a lumberjack. <3

  • @0Genus0 Possibly the best compliment in the universe haha. cheers!
