It is very likely that this guitar is a Fender Custom Shop model. It is very similar to the Custom Shop Master Built [[https://reverb.com/item/7424651-fender-custom-shop-master-built-scott-buehl-aluminum-hydroform-stratocaster|Aluminium Hydroform Stratocaster]] built by Scott Buehl, allthough Matt's guitar has a chrome/mirror pickguard.
The Manson Fire Red visually bears resemblance to the [[Manson Red Alert]], while spec-wise, it's almost identical to the [[Manson Matt Black Stealth 2.0]], in that it has a humbucker Sustainer installed. The main difference from the Red Alert is the paint - The guitar's painted in satin red, or as Mansons like to call it, "Fire Red".
 
Similar to his Manson’s guitars, it’s probable that there are 2 Rigs for touring certain parts of the world, there are likely 2 models of this guitar. The original Ali Mirror Strat used on the Psycho Tour and Drones World Tour featured a larger Headstock, it’s possible that there is a duplicate guitar or the neck was replaced at some point.
 
The guitar was first seen used by Bellamy in 2015 and was used live up until 2017.
 
The Aluminium Strat has also been seen in the studio during the making of [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]]. It was likely used on [[Break It to Me (song)|Break It to Me]] due to the distinct neck pick up sound, and a couple other songs off of the album.


== Touring ==
== Touring ==
[[Matthew Bellamy]] first used this Fender Stratocaster extensively on the [[Psycho UK Tour]] and the [[Psycho US Tour]] from March to May 2015, debuting live in [[Belfast Ulster Hall 2015 (gig)|Belfast]]. It was used for various songs in standard tuning. Interestingly, it was used once for Knights of Cydonia at the [[Wales Newport Centre 2015 (gig) | Newport Centre]] on the Psycho UK Tour's third night. Whether Matt used it as a backup for the song, or he just decided to try using it for that one gig, is unknown. However, the whammy bar system isn't as versatile as the Floyd Rose requires for the song, which is probably why it wasn't used for the song again.
After a period of assumed inactivity, this guitar returned to use for the [[The Drones World Tour 2015/16]] starting in November, with the low E string tuned down to A for [[The Globalist (song)|The Globalist]]. It was used exclusively for the song until the song's [[Melbourne Rod Laver Arena 2017 (gig)|last performance in 2017]]. It has been used live since though it was used during the recording of Simulation Theory.
The Aluminium Strat was marked "6" by Matt's guitar tech.
