Background

This Manson guitar, built by Tim Stark and the Mansons team, features a different body shape, with angles reproducing the WOTP masks style. Stark said that he wanted to do a "modern looking angular ‘carved top’ for a while, along the lines of a stealth bomber like the F-117" for a long time, making this the perfect opportunity for him to build a guitar like that.[1] The guitar was also built with the help of CAD engineer James Yarde and luthier Emily Gardner, who shaped the planes on top of the guitar. In terms of electronics, it is perhaps one of the simplest guitars, with just one volume control and a faux tone load, plus a Sustainiac system.

The guitar has been nicknamed the 'Willtar' by Manson's Guitar Works on Instagram.

A limited series of twenty Mask replica guitars, named GEO Mask, were released by Manson in February of 2024, bearing exact same specs as the Mask.

Touring

The guitar made its first appearance in Wiener Neustadt in June 2023 during the Will of the People World Tour.
