When Craig Bellamy took over Manson guitars, many of us thought it's gonna be bent on producing his signature & the derivatives exclusively. You know, that singlecut design that looks like a mutant LP / Tele hybrid. Come 2022, we have this Oryx as a surpsise, really. The brand name moved away from being solely owner-influenced, worked with a prominent endorser & the Oryx was born. I like the simple design & the fact that it comes with reputable pickups - BK's Polymath humbuckers. If there's anything significant about this development, I feel that it's taking on that Chapman / Solar vibes & working towards refinement in time to come. We don't have Manson dealers / distributors here, unfortunately. Teaser :
