Background
This guitar that appeared at the Stockholm STV TV Programme on the 14th of September 2012. Like the Manson Carbon, this guitar does not feature a X/Y midi controller pad, which is a change from a majority of Matt's Resistance era guitars.
The guitar had to match a specific weight requirement (around 2.4kg) so multiple holes were drilled into the body, neck (routed), hardware to reach the target weight. This is the lightest guitar Hugh has built for Matt. This is the second of six Manson guitars created by Hugh Manson for Bellamy in 2012.
It features the custom knobs and machineheads of the Manson Delorean, but with 5/6 holes drilled into them at the back to reduce the weight.
Also it is nearly identical with a bunch of other Manson Matt Blacks, that Matt uses for smashing around.
Touring
Along with the Manson M1D1 Gloss Black, it is the most frequently used guitar on The 2nd Law tour.
On the April 10, 2013 Toronto gig this guitar featured a new (natural) maple neck. It was thrown out of the pyramid the evening before during the outro of Stockholm Syndrome. A video of the incident can be seen here [watch].
Since the beginning of the Stadium Tour, the guitar features a new natural maple neck the with a black headstock.
