Background

This guitar is the first of probably three Manson DR-1 Matthew Bellamy Signature Guitars that Matt owns. This guitar was first seen at a guitar show in February 2016, where this new signature series was introduced. Back then, this guitar featured a neck pickup and normal volume and tone knobs.


Touring

The guitar was modified for Matt after the showcase. It got a Sustaniac in the neck position and custom control knobs. After having it photographed before the London O2 Arena 15th show, it was first used live at the Zürich 11th gig.

Background

This guitar is the second of probably three Manson DR-1 Matthew Bellamy Signature Guitars that Matt owns.

In comparison to the DR-1 #00 this guitar features a lot of the specifications of the other new Manson guitars that he got in 2015 and 2016. Instead of the normal Gotoh bridge this guitar has the 510 version and the area around the truss rod adjuster is the same as on all other 2015/16 guitars. The finish of this guitar has a relic style.

This guitar has not be seen live yet.

The guitar's been seen in Muse's Instagram pics during the making of Simulation Theory. Bellamy fitted on a Fishman Tripleplay MIDI Pickup system. It's presumably been used to record The Dark Side and probably a couple of other songs on the album which Bellamy used the Tripleplay on.
