Background

A new guitar built by Hugh Manson to replace Bellamy's original Red Glitter Manson which was damaged beyond repair after being dragged off the tower by a curtain at Los Angeles Staples Center, in September 2010. The new guitar has a more even coat of glitter as opposed to its predecessor, which bore 3 distinct lines of glitter.

Additional Information

Official replicas of the Red Glitter and Seattle Manson can be bought from the Manson online store. The MB-1 range (Matt Bellamy series 1) has a starting price of £3099 for a Black basic version with no midi screen or Manson hardware. To upgrade to a Red Sparkle Finish would be an extra £200, To upgrade to a MIDI Screen would be an additional £300 so an identical one to Matt's costs £3599.
