After I made my payments on my latest guitar, I was thinking if Mang Max can reproduce a Mosrite Ventures guitar at an affordable price.....

Ride a jeep going to malanday or malinta, you can see bbb, fatima, etc signs on them. Ask the driver to drop you off to victoneta, then tawid ka sir, pasok ka sa victoneta avenue then lakad konti may sakayan ng jeep dun, ask the driver to drop you off to gate 1. Nandun lang banda si mang max, i think you can just ask people from there. Here's his exact address :#2 VICTONETA AVE, POTRERO, MALABON CITY  :mrgreen:

Okay na bro. I was there yesterday.

I bit the bullet. I asked Mang Max to make me a 1pc Maple neck for my Highway 1 tele. in 3 weeks time, tapos na. (SANA).

Im excited.

Kung sakaling okay na okay talaga. Magpapacustom naman ako ng isang buong gitara. :)

Si Mang Max.. he made an LP for me before, it was a black beauty Les Paul (I dont know anything about guitars back then) gandang ganda ako nung
natapos nya..But now, when I learned about Les Pauls, I got disappointed and to tell  you the truth guys, it was the worst one. Pick ups were good but the
entire craftsmanship =wew= halatang minadali. Inabot ng ilang taon bago ko nakuha.. TAON!! :-o to give you more details about the guitar:

fretwire =medium frets!!!! me buzz fret pa!
machinehead = hindi parallel
knobs = hindi parallel
binding = ndi cya multiple binding at hindi pantay ang tabas! at walang binding ang headstock!
Bridge = noticeable ang layo sa bridge pick up ( anu ngyari sa scale length
Nut = ndi napolish ng maayos

TAON ang hinintay ko para magkaron ng gantong gitara hehehe sarap..

Several years ago, I posted the same complaints about his lack of pagka pulido hoping that it would improve.  On the other hand, I guess he charges cheap so... You get what you pay for.

Boss gamit ka lang ng ruler... heh heh.  Patay siya kay Mr. inches and Mr. millimeter.  Tingnan mo lang ang picture ng rickenbacker sa itaas from the neck perspective, parang may twist ang neck going to the right.  Sana makuha ng truss rod adjustment.  Also, hindi niyo ba napansin na hindi parallel ang pagkalagay ng frets sa Rickenbacker copy?

Talas ng mga mata sir ah. If you look closely parang hinde nga parallel yung 21 fret. Although di ko masyado makita yung twist sa neck. Si owner na siguro makakapagsabi niyan.
@kabuki please post pictures of your complaint. Baka sabihin ng iba naninira ka lang bro

Wala naman masamang tinapay dahil madali naman ayusin ng truss rod ang neck twist hopefully... kung magandang kahoy ang gamit.   Napansin ko lang.  I mean -- its NOT fair to expect a lot if the guy charges cheap.

Hehe, effect of not-so-nice camera lens hence the chromatic abberation. Pero yung actual niya mga boss walang twist ang neck even the fret wires are okay.

But I'm not saying that his work is flawless. For example, there is a bit of black paint mess in the binding (look at the bottom curve).

@bakit "di ba mabigat?" -- bigat as hell. Kamagong ba naman ang body :-)

Overall, I'm happy with it. I think that's what's important. Enjoy the toy!!!
