Background
This guitar is almost identical to the Manson Matt Black FR, except this guitar features a covered chrome Manson MBK-2 pickup. Both new guitars have the new Floyd Rose whammy controller system.
The YES/NO switch sits in place of the tone control knob. This could be the rumoured new feature referred to in the Patented MID1 Manson.
These guitar body shapes mark a departure from previous Mansons Matt used that feature a Floyd Rose system, as they do not have the rounded "Lozenge" shape, as seen on the likes of the Chrome Bomber and the Stealth Bomber models.
It has been used live since Muse started touring US amphitheatres in 2017.
Songs used for
The Chrome FR is used for songs with standard tuning requiring the use of a whammy bar.
