This guitar got its first outing (as his [[Manson_Red_Glitter | Red Glitter]] was damaged at the previous night's gig), on 11th September 2010 at the [[London Wembley Stadium 2010 - 11th (gig) |Wembley Stadium]] gig for all the songs in the set-list in Drop D tuning.  It has also been used on the 2010 USA Autumn Tour, after Matt's [[Manson_Red_Glitter|Red Glitter Manson]] met its demise at the [[Los_Angeles_Staples_Center_2010_-_26th_(gig) | Los Angeles Staples Center]] gig. It is unknown whether it will be used again, as while it may be argued that the replacement of its predecessor set a precedent, the [[Manson Santa 2.0]] has also now been retired due to damage.
