Revision as of 18:52, 23 September 2015

This is a series of almost identical Manson guitars that Matt has been using since March 2015. They are the succesors of 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.

The headstock of these guitars feature the old Manson's logo.

Touring

The first guitar (#1) 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).

It is unknown at which point #2 was used live for the first time, but it was seen at the Mayan gig together with its twin, the #1.

Since the club shows in the US Matt used them for various tunings along one other Manson Matt Black 2.0 (#3).

He also used it at some of the festival shows, until he destroyed it at the Download Festival.

At some point during the Festival Tour the remaining guitar (#2) of these two got a new neck, that features blackened custom hardware and a black truss rod adjuster.
