Background
This is the third of six Manson guitars created by Hugh Manson for Bellamy in 2012. It appeared at the French Taratata TV Programme on the 19th of September 2012. Because of the identical specifications of this guitar, this guitar together with the Manson Red Carbon replaced Manson M1D1 Black and the Manson Black Midi.
This guitar was replaced by the Manson M1D1 Gloss Black 2.0, that features the same specifications, except for a black bridge, chrome XY pad frame and uncovered humbucker.
Touring
Along with the Manson Matt Black, it was the guitar most frequently used guitar on The 2nd Law Tour. It was frequently smashed after Uprising or Stockholm Syndrome. The varnish shows some scratches, that are partly fixed with gaffer tape. Also at the top of the headstock is a big scratch.
