Background
This guitar is one of the Matt Black Stealth guitars that Matt received in 2015. It features an X-Y Midi Pad with a black framing and a black slide, which makes it the first M1D1 to feature a black instead of a white slide.
Touring
The guitar first appeared at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge gig. From 2015 to 2019 the guitar was used exclusively for Supermassive Black Hole. However, from 2022 onwards, in addition to the former song, the guitar is now used for various other songs that require standard tuning.
