Leading the 2025/26 updates is the return of the much-requested MBC-1 Red Sparkle finish, a glittering, high-gloss lacquer that pays homage to the iconic “Santa” guitars used extensively by Bellamy on stage and in the studio.
The release is available in two formats: a twin-humbucker version featuring Manson-designed pickups for powerful, versatile tones, as well as a Sustainiac-equipped variant for you to dial in infinite sustain.
In the Sustainiac model, the neck humbucker is swapped out for the same pickup system Bellamy uses in his instruments. The pickup can be switched to work as an active and detailed regular neck pickup or switched into Sustain mode where three alternative Sustainiac modes are available, each offering endless sustain.

Joining Red Sparkle is a brand-new Satin Olive Green finish, also available in both humbucker and Sustainiac-equipped versions. The new colourway is paired with black hardware – a first for the series – adding a stealthy, more aggressive look to the instrument.
Left-handed players can finally get in on the action as well. For the first time, the Meta Series MBM-2H will be available in southpaw versions (no extra charge required), so Bellamy fans of all stripes can get their hands on the celebrated instrument.
As with previous iterations, the Meta Series MBM-2H continues to deliver premium features including a sleek compound radius neck, a kill-button for stutter effects, and Manson’s signature design and playability – all at a remarkably accessible price point.
The MBM-2H is priced at £569, while the MBM-2H-Sustainiac will cost you £899. Both are available now via Cort and Manson dealers worldwide.
