The Manson DR Series is a limited series of 99 identical guitars, released by Manson in 2016 as special 'Numbers' editions, with all of them having a special marking of "DRONE:0X" on the body. The guitars were designed by Bellamy after his inspiration during the making of the album Drones. The guitars appear to have been built around the Manson Matt Black 2.0. According to Mansons, the guitar sits somewhere between a Cort MBC-1 and a Manson MB-1.
