Background
This is a new guitar that appeared on the Muse Twitter Account on 9th August 2012. This guitar is aside from the Manson Ali Top, Manson Matt Black and Manson Matt Black II Matt's only Manson custom guitar not to have any internal effects or controllers.
The guitar had to match a specific weight requirement (around 2.4kg) so multiple holes were drilled into the body, neck, hardware to reach the target weight. This was one of six other Manson guitars created by Hugh Manson for Bellamy in 2012.
The Bridge pickup was changed to a P90 pickup (presumably Manson MBK-1) before the London Roundhouse gig.
At the Birmingham gig it was fitted with a single coil Seymour Duncan pickup in place of the Fernandes Sustainer.
Touring
Although the debut of this guitar was during the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, the guitar was not actually played. It is quite clear throughout the footage that all instrumentation was mimed, making this also one of the few times Muse have mimed sensibly.
