It is currently unknown whether this guitar, which first appeared at the LA Mayan 2015 Gig is a new guitar, since Manson's  mentioned that a new neck was fitted, though this cannot be 100% confirmed. Two Matt Blacks (the ones with Sustainiac's fitted were seen at Mansons being constructed, so it is very unlikely that this is a new guitar. A third guitar guitar being built was not seen, as all of Matt's guitars were in 1 area of the workshop (Mirror 2.0, Copper 2.0, Copper 1.0, Black Glitter 7 string, Glitter Holes 2.0 and MIDI Black Gloss 2.0

Revision as of 06:18, 26 May 2015

This is a series of almost identical Manson guitars that Matt has been using since March 2015. They replaced the original Manson Matt Black and the Manson Matt Black (batch) guitars. Like all 2015 guitars built by Manson's, these guitars feature a truss rod adjuster that is placed just below the end of the neck and a slightly different bridge compared to the old Matt Blacks.

It is exactly the same guitar like the Manson Matt Black Stealth except for the normal 'silver' hardware instead of the blackened hardware.

The headstock of this guitar features the old Manson logo. This guitar is numbered "1", by his guitar tech.

Touring

This guitar first appeared at the Belfast Ulster Hall on the opening night of the 2015 Psycho Tour. On this tour it was used for songs with the guitar tuned to Drop C (Map Of The Problematique, Dead Inside) and DGDGBe (Uprising).
