New 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.
 
The 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. 
 
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 the company’s ORYX model range. Upper access is improved; fatigue is reduced. 
 
We wanted to celebrate the Origin of Symmetry Etch pick up design with this very limited finish, figured maple neck, and black hardware option. We also wanted to include a left hand model in this limited run.
 
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.  .
