[frivers]

ei rockstan maraming salamat at napaset up ko na yung guitar ko kanina kina mang max maraming salamat sa pagturo ng directions, di kame naligaw ng tropa ko at ang best part nasetup guitars namen ng pulido tapos mura pa sumingil si mang max. here's some pics kina mang max.









HERE'S MY NEW BABY NOT SURE WITH THE MODEL PERO I THINK ITS A IBANEZ S540 KITA KO SA CATALOG NILA MANG MAX 



Lastly, pinatest samen ni mang max yung mga custom noiseless pups niya. before testing it tinanong niya kame ng friend ko kung anu genre ng music namen. sabe namen ako i play metal/metalcore at si bry blues/pinoy rock. i was in doubt nung una kung kaya nung pups niya yung metal kasi its single coil and sabe ni mang max ipapakita niya samen na kaya na ng single coils ang metal sound na nandun yung elemnts na hinahanap ng guitarista, yung kapal yung tightness ng sound, clarity etc. 3 guitar yung ginamit namen washburn bt and 2 tele's na naka custom pups lahat. edi setup ng effects yung deathmetal niya at yung df7 ko. i was pretty amazed na ang single coil niya e kasing kapal tumunog ng humbucker at definitely kayang kaya ang metal sound. ang tagal ko tinest yung pup and indeed its a metal pup. ang pinaka maganda pa sa pups ni mang max its noiseless tinest namen yung tele niya at tele ng friend ko df7's gain at max yung fernandez tele single coil pup sobrang ingay at mafeedback, mang max custom pups damn walang ingay sobrang tahimik and its single coil. yung response sa picking sobrang ganda din. talagang nasa kamay na control kung pano mo iaattack yung strings at magrerepond accordingly yung pups. kahit high gain yung disto ko litaw yung mga notes ng power chords hindi siya muddy yung gain is at max ah. kaya para sakin sulit yung CUSTOM NOISELESS PUPS ni MANG MAX. napaka affordable pa, di ako magaling or professional gumawa ng reviews, pero marunong naman ako tumingin at magkilatis ng tunog ng pups. this is my opinion nung tinest ko yung pups.its better na matest niyo rin in person para malaman niyo kung pasok sa taste niyo yung sound ng pups. soon papapagwa din ako. supportahan ang sariling atin para umunlad at mas madevelop pa. cheers brothers

Ikaw ba yung inabutan ko dun kahapon na malupit mag metal? hehe

[p2ltronilogd]

kagagaling ko lang kay mang max to get my washburn acoustic
had the liberty of watching him making a saddle and a nut out of real bone!

well also had the opportunity of testing out his telecaster and a washburn bt equipped with his noiseless pickups
well first time i heard it i was like "wow! single coil ba talaga to?"
since metal din ung tugtugan ko  he let me test with his DOD Death Metal
sa observation ko you can enjoy the power of a high output humbucker with the clarity of a single coil
compared to other high output pickups di siya muddy kahit ang taas na nung gain ng Death Metal
next time na pagpunta ko i'll bring my overkilled hm100 hoping na sana nakaequip na ung les paul nya with his noiseless pickups
pretty soon ill be ordering one for myself para makabit dun sa randy rhoads copy ko which is under restoration by sir max also

more power sir max ^^

ikaw pala yung knina nandun na naabutan ko. hehehe.

Ang storya nyan eh binalik nung customer ni mang max dahil daw ang bigat. Sabi nung customer eh gusto nya magaan pero binigyan siya ng warning ni Mang Max na mawawala ang sustain at tone nung gitara, pero wala raw pake yung customer basta raw magaan. Gumawa si Mang Max ng bagong ganyan without any additional charges para lang masatisfy ni Mang Max yung customer.

Hanggang ngayon pala eh hindi pa nabebenta yan, 15 months na nakalipas nung huli naming paguusap ni Mang Max.

haha nice bass nga pala sir

wow.. so parang doble gastos pa pala yun sa part ni mang max.. imagine, gumawa siya ng isa pa dahil lang nabigatan yung customer sa unang gawa? wow.. amazing.. hindi lahat siguro ay gagawin yun.. or at least, baka tapyasan nila ng kahoy yung unang gawa tapos cosmetic retouch nalang..

Nagusap kmi ni Mang Max tungkol dyan, 'di na nya ibebenta yan. Regalo na lang nya daw sa anak nya yan. Grad gift ata. Astig nga e, may instant Tremonti agad si junior.hehe

About dun sa pick-ups ni Mang Max, I too, was totally blown away. Di ako makapaniwala na single coil sya. Pulidong-pulido. Pina-test nya sakin dati yung Squire Tele equipped with his p/ups and damn, bagsik nung tunog talaga. Very versatile. Kahit anong genre kaya. Mang Max even invited me to demo his p/ups sa susunod na launching ata, sabi ko pag oks sa sked game ako. Meron syang bagong ipapa-try pag natapos na yung purple guitar na ginagawa nya, yung scalloped yung fretboard, mas matindi daw yun e.hehe

@r_chino: OO pre ganyan kabait at kalufet si Mang Max, di na nya iindahin ang gastos para lang sa satisfaction ng customer. Try mo sya minsan, mate.

[kune_km]

any idea sir how much yung noiseless single coil pickups ni mang max?

[Ryn]

@r_chino: OO pre ganyan kabait at kalufet si Mang Max, di na nya iindahin ang gastos para lang sa satisfaction ng customer. Try mo sya minsan, mate.

I can also attest on this, yung scalloped strat neck pictured above was supposed to be mine. but mang max told me that there was a slight problem with the headstock, and when i checked mejo mas malaki nga. i asked mang max kung pwede i-recess na lang yung excess pero hindi daw kakayanin and told me that he'll just make a new one instead. ganyan kabait at kalupit yan si mang max hehe

[guitarwiz02]

any idea sir how much yung noiseless single coil pickups ni mang max?

Wala pang presyo bro, dadaan pa sa ilang tests bago maging available yung p/ups.

[kune_km]

thanks thanks thanks
