Matthew Bellamy, the lead guitarist in the rock band Muse, Manson Guitar Works and Cort are pleased to announce the launch of an all new signature guitar. After a productive period of research and development between the three parties, the new guitar will be based upon the official MB1-S series and features a newly designed pickup set from the Manson Guitar Works team together with a discrete kill button.

The MBC-1RS - Red Sparkle - is a vibrant and stunning holoflake finish over the exact same red base coat used by Hugh Manson on the legendary Manson Matthew Bellamy MB-1 “Santa” model. The Red Sparkle model will have all the great specification of the Matt Black version: custom Manson humbucker design, kill button, sleek neck profile, locking machineheads and vintage neck pickup design.

KILL BUTTON
The MBC-1 features a discrete kill button allowing you to creatively expand the wide range of sounds already available.

LOCKING TUNERS
The MBC-1 is equipped with locking tuners.
These die-cast tuners assure stage-ready tuning stability.

PICKUPS
The MBC-1 is equipped with pickups developed by Manson Guitar Works especially for this guitar. The versatile setup includes a fully voiced humbucker in the bridge and a true single coil neck pickup reflecting the layout of several of Bellamy’s stage and studio custom instruments.



CONTROLS
The controls on the MBC-1 are simple while versatile. There is a single volume control, master tone and a three way switch. This controls the humbucker/ single coil pickup combination. It all works together with the kill button and the overall instrument design to give you a highly creative and great sounding instrument.
