Background
The MB-1 Nebula models is a batch of 13 guitars, one of them was customized differently and sent to Bellamy in january 2023 while the other 12 were sold on Manson Guitar Works'shop on January 27th.
According to Mansons[1] "these guitars started life as potential touring backups for any damaged guitars on the Drones World Tour but none ever got sent into action. Eventually the guitars and parts were disassembled leaving spare solid alder bodies to begin a new life at Manson Guitar Works. (...) The result is an MB model equipped with our latest Sustainiac Sustainer system, custom order 510 hardware, in house MB signature PF-1 pickup with etched Manson logo and a choice of either X-Nickel or black hardware. Further custom specs include the fitting of our solid aluminium bridge pickup surround, anodised in black and the fitment of our standard spec custom neck. Featuring a smooth, playable 12-inch radius, dark rosewood fingerboard and rock solid maple construction, it’s soft-V shape is designed to be happy with sustained soloing or solid power chord riffing."
The guitars were teased on Manson Guitars instagram account[2] a few days before release.
