Background
This is the guitar Matthew Bellamy really wanted when the Manson Rust Relic was ordered. Much like the Manson Bomber but with an internal Fuzz Factory circut, Ibanez Lo Pro edge Floyd Rose Tremolo but no MIDI strip nor killswitch on this guitar.
Additional Information
It is featured in the music video for "Knights of Cydonia".
Touring
Matt took delivery of this guitar around the time of Live 8 2005. The guitar made its live debut at Radio 1's Big Weekend on the 13th May 2006. As of the start of The 2nd Law tour this guitar was only used for Knights of Cydonia. Since the Detroit 2013 gig Matt instead began using his Manson Ali Top for this song, so that the Chorme Bomber is now presuambly used as a back up.
