Manson Guitar Works

The current Manson Guitar Works facility can trace its roots all the way back to the 60s when Hugh's brother, Andy Manson, decided to build his first acoustic guitar aged just 17. [Hugh Manson joined Andy to] specialise in the electric side of guitar making. This was to become the first foundations of the current Manson Guitar Works. [1970s:] The new alliance, based in Crowborough in Sussex, was turning out various custom one-off instruments. In November 1992, Manson's Guitar Shop was opened. [At Ashburton:] CNC machining, pickup production, finishing and paintwork could all be carried out in-house alongside the company's traditional hand-built craftsmanship. In June 2019, he [Matthew Bellamy] acquired the majority shareholding in Manson Guitar Works from Hugh Manson.
