Background

This guitar is similar to the Manson Chrome FR but based on the Matt Black Stealth - #1, with both new guitars having the new Floyd Rose whammy controller system - except this guitar features an uncovered pickup.

These guitar body shapes mark a departure from previous Manson's that feature a Floyd Rose, as they do not have the rounded "Lozenge" shape.

It has been used live during Muse's latest US tour for Summer 2017.
