Mansons Guitars - Inside Out South West

[mep]

Last night BBC South West Inside Out programme had a feature on Mansons Guitars. Hugh was showing some of his work for Matt Bellamy & John Paul Johns. Nick Beggs popped to pick up his double neck guitar / bass.

It's on iPlayer and is the last feature of the 60 minute show, so fast forward to about 45 - 50 mins.

Here's me with one of Huw's early Merlin basses at a show in Bristol some 30 ish years ago. I used to build flight cases for his instruments.
He seems to have aged well.

Sorry. It was a 30 minute programme. I missed the start but managed to catch Mansons.

Cool electronic wammy pad, suspect in the real world down at the Dog and Duck it would not garner that much interest...?
