Background
This guitar is one of 12 new Manson Guitars built for Matt Bellamy from 2015. It has replaced the Manson M1D1 Gloss Black for live use (due to extensive damage) and features the same specifications like its predecessor except that it has a black bridge, a chrome XY pad frame, an uncovered humbucker and the truss rod adjuster at the end of the neck. It is not known whether M1D1 Gloss Black 1.0 will return into live use as a tour backup, considering the fact that duplicates of all current guitars have been made for the ease of touring. It is a live duplicate for either 'Rig A' or 'Rig B'. The idea is that Matt can have a set of guitars for use in the Americas (Rig A), and another rig for use in other regions of the world (Rig B) to make transport easier.
Touring
This guitar first appeared at the Belfast Ulster Hall on the opening night of the 2015 Psycho Tour.
