GEO MASK V1
GEO MASK EDITION V1
Manson Guitar Works are proud to announce the release of the Manson MB GEO Mask Edition, a faithful recreation of Matthew Bellamy’s unique metal paint finished multi-angled guitar as used on the Will Of The People tour in 2023. The guitar origins started with an idea that would revolve around the angles and geometry of radar-deflecting aeroplane technology. Working such ideas into a production instrument was exceedingly time consuming and required multiple attempts to perfect since this would become a production instrument. Struck by the unique design, Matt instructed his tech Chris Whitemyer to integrate the guitar into the set as soon as possible, making its first public appearance in Austria on 3rd June 2023.
This V1 production run is an almost identical replica of Bellamy’s WOTP stage guitar, the only change being the back plate not being signed by the Manson Team. The same care and attention to detail for each of these instruments has resulted in a stunning finish and a fresh approach to the carve top tradition. The unique style, look and sound of the instrument made an immediate impact and it was included not only as a set-opener for the WOTP tour but was soon included on several other songs during the band set.
The GEO Mask Edition’s unique shape is backed by the same top-spec hardware and electronics that grace the majority of Bellamy’s stage guitars comprising a Sustainiac Stealth Pro sustainer system and Manson’s popular in-house pickup model, the PF-1 MB. Gotoh 5 series hardware and a high-polish version of the Manson custom hardware control knob complete the specification.
The V1 edition features a high-figure flame maple neck, a hand signed certificate and our UK-made Manson Hiscox Liteflite case.
Just ten V1 @ £7,999 instruments {PLUS SHIPPING} have been created. Available worldwide.
The Manson Geo Mask Edition has been manufactured to match the original finish on the guitar used by Matthew Bellamy for both stage and studio performances, and as such has been thoroughly checked over by the MGW team to ensure it matches that same high specification before shipping to the customer. However, due to the nature of this distinct finish and to acheive the same appearance as specified by the artist, there may be some minimal imperfections and variations between instruments and these are considered normal
