Background
The latest Manson made its debut two months after the demise of the M1D1 Manson, and is presumably its replacement (as both have Bare Knuckle Nailbomb Humbuckers at the bridge and Fernandes Sustainers at the neck). It is the first of Matt's Mansons to be fitted with a Tronical PowerTune Automatic Guitar Tuning System.
Additional Information

The guitar is called Auto (because of the Automatic Tuning System) by Matt and Black Midi by Hugh Manson.
