Manson Guitar Works announces its most affordable UK-made guitars to date with the "very high-spec" one-pickup MA and Verona Junior models

Manson Guitar Works.

Manson Guitar Works has announced two new models that represent its most affordable guitars to be made in the UK. The £1,399 single-pickup MA and Verona Junior are produced at the Devon company's Ashburton workshops and feature series and parallel wiring modes and kill switches for maximum versatility from a streamlined aesthetic.

The company says the result is "a very high-spec instrument at a new entry price". The two-model Junior range features the familiar MA body shape and the "classically-styled" Verona. Both have a solid obeche body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard with 12-inch radius, Gotoh 510 hardware, Manson Dirty Rascal humbucker (Alnico V, 9.5k), kill button and series/parallel Mojo feature on the guitar's single push/push volume control to make the most of their single pickup configuration.

We're also really pleased to see that Manson has made left-hand models available to order from release, at no extra cost. All the Junior models include a Mono gigbag as a standard.
