Lisbon gig, during "Hoodoo"
Silver Fender Stratocaster

Background

During a gig in Osaka,Kyoto Japan in 2001, Matt can be seen playing an all white stratocaster.

Chris had been seen using a dark coloured Stratocaster with matching painted head stock and a white pickguard to play Hoodoo since 2006-10-24, before he changed for the PRS, which he uses currently. Although it's appears to be a Stratocaster, it has a Tele headstock and it looks like it has different switches and knobs. Could be a custom Manson.


In the "Making of Uprising" pre-order download, Matt can be seen using various guitars, including a Fender Stratocaster, Gibson Les Paul and the Glitterati Manson, to play the guitar break; however, the Stratocaster is not the guitar featured on the final track.


In a couple of pictures from the studio, recording The 2nd Law, Matt has been using a sunburst Stratocaster.


Chris has also been using this guitar live during The 2nd Law stadium tours for Unintended, Blackout and for the rhythm part of Guiding Light.
