Custom Line Manhattan-Standard : Really comfortable Manhattan

4 years ago

I really enjoyed the time with Manhattan. Things I enjoyed the most were the neck and the acoustic sound. Half of the times I didn’t even plucked myself to amp because I lost myself noodling acoustically.

Pros are the two things I already mentioned but two another pros are that it is really lighweight and bridge height is easily adjustable. And it's visually darn beautiful (mahagony stars really out from it)

For me there were only one con - I really hoped that pickup would be jazzy and little bit less trebly. Of course you can adjust treble with tone knob, but I really wanted it to be originally smokier and with less treble. Three words - too much treble in pickup.

Speaking in past tense because I switched from Manhattan back to stratocaster. I just realised that I’m a strat guy. If I could afford another guitar not for exchange then I would’ve kept that lovely Manhattan.
