Background
A new guitar built by Hugh Manson and based on the previous Mansons with the Kaoss Pad, such as the M1D1 Manson, sharing the bridge pickup of the M1D1 and the sustainer system of the Kaoss Manson, but with a "glam" look.
Said Hugh Manson of the guitar, "Matt said he wanted a new guitar, and I asked him to write down what he wanted, and he wrote 'sparkles.' When I was making it, I used a, well, it was like a wheat sifter, and just put the glitter on a bit at a time, then blew off the extra. It reminded me of making Christmas cards. All I could think was, 'you've got to be kidding me. I was bad enough at this when I was young.'"
Additional Information
Official replicas of the Glitterati Manson and Seattle Manson can be bought from the Manson online store. The MB-1 range (Matt Bellamy series 1) has a starting price of £2999 for a Black basic version with no midi screen or Manson hardware. To upgrade to a Red Sparkle Finish would be an extra £200, To upgrade to a MIDI Screen would be an additional £300 so an identical one to Matt's costs £3499. To have the Alloy Machine Heads like on Matts 'Delorean and' 'Son of Delorean/Ali Top' Guitars would be an extra £250.
Touring
This guitar got its first outing on 26th May 2007, at the Rockhal Festival in Luxembourg. There were 'concerns' over its condition after it was stabbed into an amp at Zagreb Cibona Hall, however it was back in action immediately afterwards with no visible damage.
This guitar was thought to be out of action due to Matt violently smashing it on the stage at the Brisbane Riverstage, in Australia. It was confirmed by many fans who attended that the neck snapped clean away from the body.[1] Nevertheless, it was used again at KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas in December 2007.
