Knowing the guitar would be tour-tested for months on end and need to sit alongside the artist’s extensive Manson Guitars tour rack, a distinct tone and ergonomics all came to the forefront at the design process. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Classic range of this new model leans heavier on the past for its aesthetic without losing it's own identity as some limited finishes such as the Nebular satin here will demonstrate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Tonally, the neck pickup was everything,” says Matt Bellamy. “It had to capture that vintage clarity—the clean, expressive tone that lives in Ry Cooder’s slide work. I was chasing the emotional voice you hear in the road movies ‘Paris, Texas’ and ‘Crossroads’, that haunting, human sound that feels like it’s echoing across an empty desert highway.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The neck pickup on the Verona model is the soul of the guitar. It needed to deliver purity and presence, without ever feeling overdriven or artificial. It had to feel honest and epic, like one of my favourite films of all time ‘Thelma and Louise’ when the horizon opens up and the sky just swallows the road. But also a tone that can live alongside my other more modern sounding guitars”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving built pickups in house at Manson Guitar Works for over a decade, the team was able to design and test dozens of possible pickup specifications to deliver the sound Matt was looking for. Standard and aftermarket equipped vintage guitars were on hand during the entire time to make sure the exact amount of clarity, warmth and vintage tone could be dialled in. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother notable difference on this Verona Classic is it's PF-3 Humbucker bridge pickup. Here again the focus is on clarity and presence with a rich yet distinct tone to compliment the artists desire for a 'human sound'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurther vintage features come from the hand selected alder in the body, a master volume and two tone controls with an Oak Grigsby 5-way selector layout and a rosewood fingerboard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manson Guitar Works | Official Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56836080664962,"sku":null,"price":2999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0908\/3319\/1298\/files\/045B2470-A61A-46D6-93AC-BEE6D5B7439E.jpg?v=1786607046"},{"product_id":"origin-mb-1-sufu-nebula","title":"Origin MB-1 • SuFu • Nebula","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eNew Era instruments represent the latest evolution of our product line combining the value of the M-series together with the creativity and production methods of Manson's custom work from our Ashburton workshops.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eThe NE 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eIncorporating 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 the company’s ORYX model range.
