Manson Meta Series MBM-1 Matthew Bellamy Signature Sustainic With Kaoss Pad Starlight Silver Digital Modeling Guitars

Manson Guitar Works is a British guitar manufacturer based in Ashburton, Devon, England. The company traces its roots to the 1960s, when Andy Manson began building acoustic guitars, but the electric guitar side of the business was established by his younger brother Hugh Manson in the 1970s. Hugh opened Manson's Guitar Shop in 1992 alongside Adrian Ashton and Jay Henson, and Manson Guitar Works later became its own entity focused on building custom and production electric guitars and basses. The company is known for integrating unconventional electronics and technology into its instruments, including MIDI controllers, built-in effects, and LED systems.

Manson gained widespread recognition through its long association with Matt Bellamy of Muse, who has played Manson instruments since 2001 and later acquired a majority share of the company. This partnership has produced a range of signature models, including the MA Series, MB-1, and the more affordable META Series MBM-1 built in collaboration with Cort Guitars. Beyond the Bellamy signatures, Manson offers custom builds, the ORYX series, and heritage lines like the Kestrel and Merlin. Other notable players associated with the brand include John Paul Jones, Noel Gallagher, and Joe Bonamassa.

With a catalog spanning handmade custom instruments and accessible production models, Manson Guitar Works occupies a distinctive niche — a boutique builder with arena-level visibility, blending traditional luthiery with forward-looking design.

Manson has 86 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars, Electric Basses, and Extended Range Guitars. Their gear is featured by 23 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Electronic. Notable users include Matthew Bellamy, John Paul Jones, and Mikey Demus.
