A true pioneer in the world of electric guitar innovation, Manson Guitar Works earned its legendary reputation through the custom instruments developed for Matthew Bellamy, whose groundbreaking creations have played a major role in shaping the unmistakable sound of Muse. With the META Series produced by Cort, that expertise is now available in an instrument offering outstanding quality, a distinctive character, and features directly inspired by the guitars Bellamy uses on the world's biggest stages.The MBM-2P is a highly successful evolution of the acclaimed MBM-1. Its newly redesigned body more closely follows the contours of the genuine Manson guitars Bellamy performs with on stage while maintaining exceptional playing comfort and ergonomics. The basswood body provides an ideal balance of light weight, tonal neutrality, and resonance, allowing the pickups to express their full sonic character. Finished in the striking Starlight Silver, the guitar boasts a sleek, contemporary look that immediately stands out.The pairing of a powerful bridge humbucker with a P-90 neck pickup is undoubtedly one of the most exciting developments of this version. The P-90 delivers outstanding harmonic richness, dynamic response, and expressive bite, while the bridge humbucker provides all the power required for thick, aggressive high-gain tones. This pickup combination recalls the raw, energetic sound of Muse's early albums, particularly Showbiz and Origin of Symmetry, where lively, edgy guitar tones played a defining role. The result is an instrument capable of moving effortlessly from warm, articulate clean sounds to punchy, character-filled distortion with remarkable ease.No Matthew Bellamy signature guitar would be complete without the iconic Kill Switch Button, and the MBM-2P includes it as standard equipment. Far more than a simple gimmick, it allows players to instantly create the rhythmic "stutter" effects that have become one of Bellamy's trademark techniques. Combined with high-gain tones or a variety of effects, it opens up a wealth of creative possibilities and instantly adds the experimental flair that defines Bellamy's unique musical approach.Playing comfort is another area where the MBM-2P truly excels. Its bolt-on maple neck features a silky satin finish that immediately feels broken in and incredibly smooth in the hand. The comfortable Soft V profile offers excellent support for both chord work and technical lead playing, while the Indian laurel fingerboard features a compound radius that enhances comfort across the entire neck. Lower positions feel natural for rhythm playing, while the upper frets allow fast, precise solos and effortless bends.The hardware also reflects the attention to detail invested in this instrument. Chrome-finished staggered locking tuners make string changes significantly faster while improving tuning stability, eliminating the need for a traditional string tree. Every component inspires confidence, whether in the studio, during rehearsals, or on stage, and reinforces the guitar's thoroughly modern design.Ultimately, the Manson MBM-2P SS is far more than just another signature guitar for Muse fans. It is a genuine professional performance instrument designed for players seeking originality, versatility, and a powerful sonic identity. Cort's renowned build quality, the outstanding playability, the highly versatile pickup configuration, and the unique features inherited directly from Matthew Bellamy's own instruments make it one of the most compelling guitars in its price range. Inspiring, expressive, and unmistakably distinctive, it captures the explosive spirit of Muse while remaining versatile enough to excel across a wide range of musical styles.
