Revision as of 13:59, 26 June 2016
This is a series of almost identical Manson guitars that Matt has been using since March 2015. Like all 2015 guitars built by Manson's, these guitars feature a truss rod adjuster that is placed just below the end of the neck and a slightly different bridge compared to the old Matt Blacks. Matt has been throwing these guitars around quite a bit during the Drones world tour, so many of these guitars now have scuffs, dents, and some even more than that!
