Background
This guitar is one of 12 new Manson Guitars built for Matt Bellamy from 2015. It is identical to Copper Bomber 1.0, and is created solely as a live duplicate for Matt's 2015 rig. As with the original, it is very similar to the Chrome Bomber in terms of circuitry and body shape. Like all new Manson Guitars from 2015 it features a truss rod adjuster at the end of the neck. Unlike the original, the guitar also features standard Gotoh chrome knobs for the tone and volume controls and a standard Floyd Rose Tremolo.
Additional information
The Floyd Rose FRX Tremolo system is the Floyd Rose which can be attached on the Tune-O-Matic bridge routing guitar without any routing on the body. Made by Tim Stark in April 2015, it is a live duplicate for either 'Rig A' or 'Rig B'. The idea is that Matt can have a set of guitars for use in the Americas (Rig A), and another rig for use in other regions of the world (Rig B).
