Background
This guitar that appeared at the Stockholm STV TV Programme on the 14th of September 2012. Like the Manson Carbon, this guitar does not feature a X/Y midi controller pad, a change from a majority of Matt's Resistance era guitars. This is the second of six Manson guitars created by Hugh Manson for Bellamy in 2012.
The guitar had to match a specific weight requirement (around 2.4kg) so multiple holes were drilled into the body, neck (routed), hardware to reach the target weight. This is the lightest guitar Hugh has built for Matt. It features the custom knobs and machineheads of the Delorean, but with 5/6 holes drilled into them at the back to reduce the weight.
With the Manson M1D1 Gloss Black it's the most frequently guitar used on the 2nd Law tour.
