Origin
A brand new guitar built by Hugh Manson to replace Matthew Bellamy's original Manson Red Glitter 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 and a Chrome XY Pad frame as opposed to its predecessor which bore 4 distinct lines of glitter and an alloy XY Pad frame.
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. Adding a Red Sparkle Finish costs £200 and adding a MIDI Screen costs £300, so a guitar identical to Bellamy's costs £3599. Adding the Alloy Machine Heads, as on Matts 'Delorean and' 'Son of Delorean/Ali Top' guitars, would cost an additional £250.
Touring
This guitar received its first outing on 21st October 2010, at the Quebec City Pepsi Coliseum, where already it began to inherit the spirit of its predecessor by being thrown into Dominic Howard's china cymbal. Bellamy has been throwing this guitar around quite extensively, mostly at the end of Stockholm Syndrome. A video of him throwing it at Howard's kick drum at the Rod Laver Arena gig in Melbourne, Australia, shows the guitar getting a battering. At the Bassendean Oval gig, the guitar was thrown repeatedly and violently at Howard's drum-set, again at the end of Stockholm Syndrome.
It met its death during the Endless Nameless riff (After Stockholm Syndrome) at Kyiv Palats Sportu on 24th May 2011; it is apparently in 2 pieces.
