Description
New Era instruments represent the latest evolution of Manson Guitar Works’ product line — combining the value of their M-series together with the creativity and production methods of Manson’s custom work from their Ashburton workshops.
The New Era range creates a core product for the popular MB signature model featuring full in-house body machining and hand finishing, striking paint finishes and custom electronics, (including Manson’s own pickups) where the newly expanded workforce creates the MB-1 NE from start to finish.
Incorporating new tweaks and improvements, including features that have been stage-proven by company co-owner Matthew Bellamy during world touring duties — the new MB-1 NE now discards the traditional neck plate and replaces it with a more sculpted, sleeker, recessed four-bolt neck-to-body join, as seen in Manson’s ORYX model range. Upper access is improved; fatigue is reduced.
An improved custom Sustainiac system adds the OEM-style circuit board to the New Era range which increases performance and reduces cross-talk of the sustainiac whilst in use.
New Era models rely heavily on the ethos and ultra-high specifications of Manson Guitars custom creations which means the hardware is top-notch including Gotoh hardware, rolled edge figured necks with compound radius, solid Obeche bodies and Manson hard cases as standard.
