Hugh Manson and Muse’s Matt Bellamy have collaborated on dozens of guitars over the years. Many are one-of-kind Frankensteins with built-in Fuzz Factory circuits, sustainers, or onboard Korg Kaoss Pads.
Manson and Bellamy recently partnered with Cort to create the MBC-1 Matt Bellamy Signature model. While it’s largely based on Bellamy’s Manson MB1-S series, the Cort MBC-1 costs around 600 bucks—just a fraction of the Manson’s price. And even if it doesn’t have a built in Kaoss Pad like the original, it still boasts cool features like a video game-style kill button to enable some of Bellamy’s tone tricks.
Built Bellamy Tough
While the MBC-1 is relatively inexpensive, Cort didn’t cut corners. Some of that might be due to Manson’s involvement (which includes final setup and assembly). After serving as John Paul Jones’s guitar tech for several decades (and building some of JPJ’s custom basses) Manson and his team possess a wealth of knowledge and perspective.
Whatever the inspiration, the MBC-1 is replete with thoughtful design details. Locking tuners with thick, sturdy grips help ensure tuning stability. The irregular height of the machine heads creates an even break angle past the nut, improving resonance and eliminating the need for a string tree. I also appreciated the rout just past the last fret, which exposes the truss rod, facilitating fast and easy adjustments.
