CORT META SERIES MBM-1 SUSTAINIAC STARLIGHT SILVER ELECTRIC GUITAR

Condition
Good condition, plays great. The odd mark here and there as expected for a used instrument, with some buckle rash to the rear.

Overview
The Meta Series MBM‑1 in Starlight Silver is the accessible version of Matthew Bellamy’s famed Manson signature guitar, crafted under licence by Cort. With its bolt-on Canadian maple neck, basswood body, and signature kill-switch, this guitar delivers a bold, dynamic performance at a keen price. The added Sustainiac neck pickup opens up lush harmonic sustain possibilities, while the bridge humbucker provides tight, powerful crunch. Finished in sleek Starlight Silver with chrome hardware, it's both eye-catching and stage-ready.
