We’re generally downright Ludditic when it comes to our music (we like it loud and bratty — and no backing tapes, please) but one can’t help but get a little giddy when confronted with a guitar that does, you know, other stuff. Matt Bellamy’s Manson MB-1 signature is not only a respectable ax in its own right, but it also features an X-Y controller (think Korg Kaoss Pad) for two dimensional control of damn near any FX plug-in you can get your hands on. Available in “Matt Black” and “Red Sparkle,” this bad boy starts at £2,999 (that’s almost ,400, folks). But what do you expect for what Music Radar has termed “easily the most technologically advanced signature guitar on the planet?” Or you could just buy a Kaoss Pad and shove it in your Les Paul. But we wouldn’t recommend that. Make sure you check out the stunning video demonstration after the break.
