Background
On the 16th of April 2010, Bare Knuckle Pickups' twitter feed announced that the company had "just" finished building "Twin P90 bridge soapbars" for a "custom Manson double neck guitar" being built for Matthew Bellamy.[1] This announcement coincided with a series of musewire updates concerning studio recording,[2] which culminated with a mention of a new song "in the oven"[3]. Assuming that said new song referred to the then-unreleased Neutron Star Collision, it became clear when the guitar was first unveiled in public that it and the aforementioned twitter updates were not connected—the Mirror Manson, not the Casinocaster, was in fact used to perform Neutron Star Collision.
The guitar features two necks, the bottom neck standard and the top neck fretless. The top neck also features a string dampener. Both necks incorporate a Fernandes Sustainer and two Bare Knuckle P90 soapbar pickups, the latter having been the first detail about the guitar revealed in mid-April by Bare Knuckle Pickups[1]. The guitar also features black binding around the top of the body and Gotoh's new Stealth tuners (with custom knobs as on the Delorean Manson).
Touring
This guitar was first played live at the 25th May 2010 Paris Casino gig.
