Manson Guitars at "Psycho Tour" 2015

Matthew Bellamy owns between 38-45 Manson guitars, of which all were built by Hugh Manson (before 2009) except the Mirror Kaoss, Doubleneck, Keytar and Matt Black II and many more, which were built by Tim Stark. Hugh still makes guitars for Matt, but nowadays, most of the work is done by head luthier at Manson Guitar Works, Tim Stark. All of the guitars built for Bellamy, aside from the 7 String E Guitar, have a shape that he designed alongside Hugh Manson in 2001, dubbed Mattocaster or MB shape. The Mattocaster shape resulted from Bellamy wanting a guitar with "the body of a Fender Telecaster and the sound of a Gibson Les Paul".[source?] 12 guitars were made for Matt in 2015, the most made at one go ever by Mansons for Matt. Matt's guitars were divided into two Rigs for use in different regions of the world, Rig A and Rig .
