Background
This guitar is the sixth new Manson to break cover in 2012, and only the second to feature an X-Y Midi screen controller. It is the second of Matt's guitars to feature a carbon fibre finish. It debuted at the London O2 arena gig on the 27th of October 2012 where it was used for New Born. This guitar bears similarities with the Manson Red Glitter.
Touring
At the June 18th, Werchter gig he threw this guitar into Doms bass drum, presuambly because it cut out at the New Born outro. He threw it then over Doms drumkit. After finishing the song, Dom threw the guitar over the kit to the front of the stage. Possibly the guitar got damaged, as the Manson Red Glitter 2.0 was used at the following gigs. It was back for the summer gigs in Asia in 2013 and also made a return for the festival shows in Summer 2015.
