MANSON META MB-2

When we think of greatvalue guitars from the last few years, the Manson Meta MBM-1 springs to mind. Now, the Devon-based brand is delivering on its plans to bring the Matt Bellamy models closer to the Muse man’s stage guitars with the release of the MB-2 series. There are three new developments: first is that lefties can now get in on the action with the MBM-2 left-handed model. It includes the same dual-humbucker, kill switch, soft V neck profile of the MBM-1, but features the MBM-2’S new body contouring.

Next up are the MBM-2 righthanded models which offer Matt’s Originofsymmetry- style tones with either a P90/humbucker configuration (£569) or Sustainiac/humbucker combo, pictured here in the new Meta Blue gloss finish (£949).
