Background
This guitar is almost identical to the [[Manson Matt Black FR] , with both new guitars having the new Floyd Rose whammy controller system - except this guitar features an covered chrome pickup.
These guitar body shapes mark a departure from previous Manson's that feature a Floyd Rose, as they do not have the rounded "Lozenge" shape.
It has been used live during Muse's latest US tour for Summer 2017.
