The Manson MA Evo 1 in Black is a sleek, high-performance electric guitar that embodies the cutting-edge design and sonic innovation Manson Guitar Works is renowned for. Designed in the UK and built to exacting standards, the MA Evo 1 offers premium tonewoods, precision hardware, and a player-focused layout that appeals to both modern rock players and experimental musicians.
Featuring a contoured solid alder body finished in a striking matte black, the Evo 1 is visually bold yet elegantly minimal. Its body design is lightweight and ergonomic, providing excellent playing comfort and stage-ready presence.
Under the hood, the MA Evo 1 typically features a powerful PF-1 bridge humbucker paired with a neck single coil or matched humbucker, offering a wide tonal range — from aggressive distortion to glassy cleans. The direct-mounted pickups contribute to enhanced resonance and a more immediate, articulate response.
Known for its versatile control layout, the Evo 1 often includes custom wiring options, coil-splitting, and optional upgrade paths for integrating touchpad controllers or MIDI systems, allowing players to explore creative sound manipulation right from the instrument.
The maple neck with either a rosewood or ebony fingerboard offers a smooth, fast feel, while premium hardware such as locking tuners and a Gotoh 510 bridge provide tuning stability and dynamic control for expressive play.
With its futuristic styling, exceptional craftsmanship, and innovative features, the Manson MA Evo 1 in Black is a serious tool for forward-thinking musicians seeking more than just a traditional guitar — it's a sonic engine built for modern expression.
