Manson Guitar Works MB-1 New Era Sustainiac and Fuzz Factory Electric Guitar, Ebony FB, Satin Fire Red

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.Specifications: Body Shape: MB Body Material: Obeche Body Colour: Fire Red Body Finish: Satin Neck Material: Birdseye Maple Neck Profile: MB Soft "V" Fretboard Material: Rosewood Fretboard Radius: 12-16" (305-406mm) Compound Scale Length: 25.5" (648mm) No. of Frets: 22 Fretboard Inlays: Side Dots Pickup(s): PF-1 ORIGIN Etch (Bridge), Sustainiac Stealth PRO (Neck) Bridge: Gotoh 510FB, with Gotoh 510FA tailpiece Strings: 10-46 Tuning Machines: Gotoh 510 Hardware Finish: Black Case: Manson Hiscox Hard Case
