A signature born from the stage, designed for live energy
Inspired by the Manson guitars associated with Matt Bellamy, this MBM-2H condenses the "performance" DNA into an accessible format. The glittery red finish highlights the instrument's decidedly stage-oriented design, while the efficient electronics and "Kill" switch encourage rhythmic textures and dynamic breaks typical of the frontman's playing style.
For which guitarist and styles?
This electric guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a reliable instrument for rock, alternative, hard rock, and melodic metal. However, its playability remains welcoming for an ambitious beginner looking for a modern neck and easy-to-master electronics. From massive riffs to more subtle indie textures, the MBM-2H effortlessly transitions from crunch to heavy saturation.
The sound
The linden body provides focused mids and smooth highs, an ideal foundation for distortion without harshness. The two Manson humbuckers deliver a generous output level while minimizing background noise, with a tight grain at the bridge and a warm, singing tone at the neck. The 3-position selector switch covers the essentials (bridge, middle, neck), while volume and tone controls allow fine-tuning of attack and brightness. The "Kill" switch opens the door to chopped effects and live-style rhythmic breaks, offering a palette that is both creative and immediately usable.
Recommended compatible accessories
- Nickel string set 10-46 like D'Addario EXL110 (factory-installed), perfect for maintaining the instrument's tension and response.
- Strap with secure strap locks at the standard 2-point system.
- Capo for 6-string electric guitar, standard size.
