This page contains all Manson Matt Black guitars that followed the Manson Matt Black, as all of the guitars seem to be from the same batch. In contrast to their name giver, these do not have custom hardware, but some of them have the same uncovered humbucker (III, IV, V) and some feature a covered Manson MBK-2 (II, from V onward).

Matt mainly uses these guitars for smashing around. Tim said that 4 were made, but multiple ones have been seen live. It can be assumed that 4 guitars were used, but necks and bodies were replaced.

It's also been theorised that the bodies and necks (with Manson headstock logo rather than Cort) were sort of prototypes for the Cort/Manson MB signature model. This would be an ideal scenario for Matt to road-test what the models would be like, however with upgraded electronics and hardware to his touring specs.

Background

This guitar was built by Tim Stark of Manson Guitars in February 2013 an debuted at the March 5th, 2013 Columbus gig. It was very similar to the Manson Matt Black except with standard (not custom) hardware and a standard Manson MBK-2 Bridge Pickup instead of the uncovered Humbucker.

Touring

At the second gig Matt used this guitar, he slided it over the LED-panels while playing the Freedom outro and finally threw it out between the slots of the pyramid. Most likely the neck received heavy damgage, because the next show the Matt Black II wasn't used until it returned at the Tulsa gig with a new neck. This neck seemed similar to the DL-1 neck that the Manson Red Glitter 2.0 got after a damage.

At the Las Vegas gig Matt threw it out through the slots again, this time the guitar nearly flew into the crowd. With the beginning of the Uprising outro riff he smashed it four times very heavily and and finally threw this guitar into the audience. On a video ([watch]) can be seen, that the audience starts a fight over the guitar, whereupon the security confiscated the guitar. A tweet from Dominic Anderson says that the guys catching the guitar were allowed to keep the guitar after the concert. tweet

Footage of the action can be seen here. [watch][watch][watch]

Some more pictures of the damaged guitar can be seen here.

Apparantly someone from the crowd was slightly injured because of the throw and/or the fight for the guitar.
