Background
This guitar is one of a handful of Prototypes for the first batch of 25 Manson DL-1 Matthew Bellamy Signature Guitars built by Manson Guitars, first released in August 2011. This one differs by having a push button kill switch and a Fernandes Sustainer instead of a P90 Neck Pickup. This guitar also has a Manson MBK-3 pickup, the first of Matt's guitars to have one fitted.
Touring
The DL-1 Delorean got it's first outing at Leeds Festival on 26th August 2011, where it was thrown into the air by Bellamy at the end of both Space Dementia and Stockholm Syndrome, landing on top of Dom's drum kit during the latter. It made a return for the Reading Festival two days later. Matt threw the guitar high in the air again at the end of Space Dementia and at the end of Stockholm Syndrome, Matt smashed the guitar into Dom's bass drum twice and then threw the guitar into the air twice. The guitar was not used live again after these two gigs.
As a result, the guitar holds the unique distinction of being thrown into the air at the end of every single live song it was used for.
