Cort MBM-2H-LH Meta Series Matt Bellamy Signature Lefthanded Electric Guitar (Satin Black)

Global guitar manufacturer Cort, together with Matthew Bellamy, the lead guitarist of the rock band Muse, and Manson Guitar Works are pleased to announce an updated and expanded range for the award winning META Series MBM model. The MBM-2 range includes revised body contouring – more closely aligned to Bellamy’s stage guitars, and all design and development work has been completed and personally overseen by Manson Guitar Works.

MBM-2 LH features a left hand option previously not available in the META series range, whilst other features that won the MBM-1 many accolades remain as before; sleek maple neck with satin finish for the ultimate played-in feel, a solid basswood body, special Manson designed humbucker set and a kill button that allows a wide range of guitar effects to be created by the player without resorting to outboard effects. The headstock design features Bellamy’s distinct signature together with the Manson logo.

Manson® Humbucker Pickup Set

The MBM-2H-LH is equipped with pickups developed by Manson Guitar Works especially for this guitar. The versatile setup includes fully voiced humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions reflecting the layout of several of Bellamy’s stage and studio custom instruments.

1 Volume & 1 Tone, 3 Way Switch

The controls on the MBM-2H-LH are simple while versatile. There is a single volume control, master tone and a three way switch. This controls the 2 humbucker pickup combination. It all works together with the kill button and the overall instrument design to give you a highly creative and great sounding instrument.

Kill Button

The MBM-2H-LH features a discrete kill button allowing you to creatively expand the wide range of sounds already available.

Soft V Neck Profile

The Manson neck profile and shape has consistently received praise around the globe in many five star reviews. To maintain that competitive edge the new MBM-2H-LH features the Manson soft V profile with a satin finish to give an immediate played-in feel. It’s the reason we refer to it as Meta Series; what has gone before was of excellence, but our philosophy is to transcend to a better product whilst referencing everything that existed before.

Compound Radius Fingerboard (12-15.75”)

A deluxe feature for players who like to transition from easy chording on the low register to high-speed soloing and enhanced string-bending on the upper register, the compound radius facilitates easier playability so you can focus on your playing.

Spoke Nut Hotrod Truss Rod

The spoke nut Hotrod truss rod ensures smooth and precise setting of the neck bow. Often overlooked by many guitarists, the neck bow (or relief) is very critical for the best possible playability. This spoke nut truss rod adjustment feature allows the player to dial in the exact amount of neck bow depending on the player’s technique and playing style.

Cort® Staggered Locking Machineheads

The deluxe locking machine heads offer precise and reliable tuning as well as easier and quicker string changes.
