The Bridge humbucker and true single coil neck pickup have been specially designed by Manson Guitar Works and are a true reflection of the layout of several of Matt Bellamy’s stage and studio custom Manson instruments. The kill button allows you to create a wide range of guitar effects without resorting to outboard effects.
The headstock design features Matt Bellamy’s distinctive signature together with the Cort logo along with the Manson logo behind the headstock. The rear of the neck has been finished with gloss lacquer – also as per Matt Bellamy’s personal specification.
The Cort MBC1 represents incredible value for money for all guitar players seeking a quality and unique shaped instrument.
