Background
It is very likely that this guitar is a Fender Custom Shop model. It is visually similar to the Eric Clapton's Signature Stratocaster, although Matt's guitar has a chrome/mirror pickguard with a different shape. Based on some images of Matt playing Verona, the guitar’s headstock appears to have the Manson logo on it indicating it may be a new Manson model or just a different neck.
Touring
The guitar was first seen used by Bellamy in Chicago for the opening show of the US leg of the Will of the People World Tour.
