Background
This was officially announced by Manson's via their social media a few days after the Will of the People Tour kicked off, described as "a classic design with a few Manson refinements and some custom pickups." It's a prototype built for the tour, so we may see tweaks and other versions soon. The guitar is loosely based on the Manson S-Type, a stratocaster-inspired guitar, which was built by Hugh Manson in the 1990s.
Much like the Oryx #1/#2/#3, it's another significant departure from the classic MB Shape in the "new era of Manson", notably as it's a second new shape built for Matt in the short time since the WotP Era began. Thand the Oryx could be the start of Matt having totally new and different guitars built by Manson's (being majority shareholder of MGW) and exploring all sorts of new shapes and designs, with hope for future production runs that the public can purchase.
Touring
The S-Type Prototype made it's debut appearance in Chicago on the Will of the People World Tour, so far only used for Verona and The Dark Side (Alternate Reality Version) Instrumental interlude.
