Information

This Manson guitar was custom made for Morgan and is based around the first generation of the Epiphone Wilshire guitar, which he replaced with this guitar. This guitar differs from the Epiphone one in the pickup department, with Morgan's original Epiphone Wilshire having two P90 pickups, while this one has only one Creamery Sonic’ 60 paired with a Creamery Hidden 12-Pole Humbucker. The guitar also has simplyfied controls, compared to the original Wilshire, with only master volume and a 3-way toggle switch present. Look-wise, the shape of the Epiphone "E" on the body has been modernized and turned into more of an "M".

Alike the Epiphone Wilshire, this guitar has been used for Madness aswell as a few other songs.
