Background
The guitar is exactly the same as the Matt Black Stealth model range, except it has the custom synth installed in it.
In an interview in 2019, Matt's guitar tech Chris Whitemyer mentioned Matt wanted to play synth on the new tour. When at the 2019 winter NAMM show, he approached the MIND Music Lab booth, organising the first meeting with MIND, Fishman and Arturia right at the show floor.[1]
In less then a month, they designed and engineered a custom built Prophet V guitar, presumably based around the Matt Black Stealth.
Touring
Bellamy first got the guitar one week before the show and he tested it by leaving it on for the whole week, continuously turning it on and off, jumping up and down with it and bouncing it off a matress. Withstanding the Bellamy test, he first used it at the first show of the tour. According to his tech, it ran flawlessly.
The Prophet Stealth was also used for Madness during the Houston gig, allthough the guitar choice for Madness was, on later gigs of the US tour (before Matt got the Manson TronCaster), reverted back to the Manson Matt Black Stealth.
This guitar is labeled by Matt's tech as "5", "8" and "Synth".
Songs used for
- The Dark Side

This guitar is, in terms of specifications, exactly the same like the first built Prophet Stealth, except it features a Sustainiac Humbucker instead of a single coil Sustainiac, and a covered pickup instead of an uncovered one.
The neck features the old Manson logo, as does the pickup.
It is not sure, if this guitar was handed over to Matt already, or only servres as display model.
Touring
This guitar wasn't used live yet.
