My beautiful Manne was built in 2004 in Europe, Italt by Mr. Andrea ?Manne? Ballarin.
It has load of options that I always want to have in my dream guitar. I worked closely with Mr. Manne to build it. We sent a few e-mails asking Andrea to give me some advice about wood, style and options. I came out with a satin natural finish neck-though guitar with 2 Humbucker, 1 volume 1 push-pull tone knob and Wilkinson Tremolo Bridge. It is made from Ask and a very nice Italian poplar top with laminate maple neck. The shape of this guitar is very unique but really beautiful. It has shredder fast neck. I really love this guitar because it has the style, taste, beauty and uniqueness. I give it 10 as I am the one who choose the materials.
Sound

The sound of this guitar is awesome. Rich tone and very high mid and good low end.
The pick up is dead quite when it is not played but once at you hit the note you really hear the note!
I?m into Heavy Metal music and I can say that this guitar rocks so hard.
PRS guitar sounds like 60% Fender and 40% Gibson but this Manne is something like 70 Fender and 30 Gibson.
Action, Fit, & Finish

The action is well set. It?s low but not too low.
The finish is the natural satin see though on the killer top. It?s so cool.
You know, I have proved to anyone that there is nothing better than natural!!!
