With simple, yet effective specs list, modern single-cut design and high quality electronics packed into the seductive MBC1, Matt Bellamy joins Mathias Jabbs and Gene Simmons in Cort signature series.
Matthew Bellamy, the leader of one of the most influential and most important rock bands today, Muse, has finally gone signature. After many years up there in the spotlights and stellar guitar work on Muse`s albums, Matt finally gets the recognition he deserves. His first signature model will be made by South Korea`s most popular and renowned brand, Cort. The same brand also has Matthias Jabbs and Gene Simmons in their ranks as signature artists. Matthew`s new MBC1 will be premiered at 2015 NAMM Show, along with the rest of the 2015 Cort lineup. Unlike the vast majority of signature guitars, MBC1 will come with a price tag of only $499. Sounds unreal, right? We nearly scheduled to get our ears checked when we first heard of the planned price. Upon the inspection, it is safe to say, it does come with a price tag of only $499. Now, let us take a closer look.
Cort MBC1 is a fairly simple, yet deadly effective axe. It costs $500 and plays like it`s price tag says $5,000. When the fact that it is the signature model of one of the most progressive and most popular band`s leaders settles in, it gains a whole new dimension and is bound to change your perspective on the entire concept of ridiculously expensive models of many a signature artists out there. For starters, it`s fit with a modern Telecaster-based body made entirely of basswood. It blends perfectly with the Mason pickups installed on the top (they come in H/S layout) and is able to fit into virtually every style and genre. Maple neck is bolted to the body and features a regular 22-fret fingerboard with no inlays on it`s frets.
