Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a series of almost identical Manson guitars that Matt has been using since March 2015. Like all 2015 guitars built by Manson's, these guitars feature a truss rod adjuster that is placed just below the end of the neck and a slightly different bridge compared to the old Matt Blacks.

Currently for RIG A, there is one Matt Black Stealth with a Fernandes Sustainer in the neck position. For RIG B, there are likewise two Matt Blacks Stealth with the Sustainiac sustainer fitted instead of the Fernandes.
