Currently for RIG A, there are THREE Matt Blacks, labeled '1' & '2' on the strap. All these have a Fernandes Sustainer in the neck position. For RIG B, there are likewise TWO Matt Blacks, labeled '1' and '2',  There guitars have the Sustainiac sustainer fitted instead. It is possible that these numbers refer to the channels for the wireless packs as there are 4 channels of wireless.
