Background
This guitar is one of 12 new Manson Guitars built for Matt Bellamy from 2015. It is is very similar to the Manson Matt Black except for a slightly different bridge compared to the other Matt Blacks and a truss rod adjuster at the end of the neck. It is exactly the same guitar like the Manson Matt Black Stealth except for the normal 'silver' hardware instead of the blackened hardware. Photos taken before the Psycho UK Tour started, show the guitar in the Matts guitar rack. Official Photos from Manson Guitars led to the assumption, that Matt got two of this guitars delivered, together with 4 Cort MBC-1 Matthew Bellamy Signature Guitars
Touring
This guitar first appeared at the Belfast Ulster Hall on the opening night of the 2015 Psycho Tour. It is used for songs with the guitar tuned to Drop C (Map Of The Problematique, Dead Inside) and DGDGBe (Uprising).
