To maintain thatcompetitive edge the new MBM-1 features the Manson soft V profile with a satinfinish to give an immediate played-in feel. ItÃÆ'¢€š¬€ž¢s the reason we refer to it asMeta Series; what has gone before was of excellence, but our philosophy is totranscend to a better product whilst referencing everything that existedbefore.

Ergonomic Body Contour

The body styling on the MS Series guitars wasdesigned by Hugh Manson, with him considering each detail for theseinstruments. Both comfort and appearance were enhanced with an elegantlycontoured arm cut on the top. The back has a tummy cut as a key comfortevolution feature. This modification to the back has been carefully laid out onthe bodies of the MS guitars for maximum comfort without removing unnecessaryamounts of wood. The lines of the Manson designed body are graceful foraesthetic beauty as well as for ergonomic considerations.

Spoke Nut HotrodTrussrod

The spoke nut hotrod truss rod ensures smooth andprecise setting of the neck bow. Often overlooked by many guitarists, the neckbow (or relief) is very critical for the best possible playability. This newtruss rod adjustment feature allows the player to dial in the exact amount ofneck bow depending on the playerÃÆ'¢€š¬€ž¢s technique and playing style. Whether you are alegato fusion player with a light touch or a Texas blues master who digs hardinto the strings in the lower register, this new truss rod will allow you todial in the exact amount of bow to suit your style.
