Background
This guitar is one of 50 Manson MB-1 Matthew Bellamy Signature Guitars so far built by Manson Guitars, the first batch of 25 were released in September 2009 and this guitar is from the second batch of 25 released in September 2010, the specifications of the guitars are almost exactly the same as the M1D1 Manson but have the paint finishes based on the Black Midi Manson and the Red Glitter Manson.
Additional Information
The MB-1 range has a starting price of £3099 for a Black basic version with no midi screen or Manson hardware. To upgrade to a Red Sparkle Finish would be an extra £200, To upgrade to a MIDI Screen would be an additional £300 so an identical one to Matt's costs £3599. To have the Alloy Machine Heads like on Matts 'Delorean, double neck and' 'Son of Delorean/Ali Top' Guitars would be an extra £250.
Touring
This guitar got its first outing (as his Red Glitter was damaged at the previous night's gig), on 11th September 2010 at the 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 Red Glitter Manson met its demise at the Los Angeles Staples Center gig. It is unknown whether it will be used again, as the Red Glitter Manson now has a replacement, the Manson Santa 2.0.
