Origin
A brand new guitar built by Hugh Manson to replace Bellamy's original Red Glitter Manson which was damaged beyond repair after being dragged off the tower by a curtain at Los Angeles Staples Center, in September 2010. The new guitar has a more even coat of glitter as opposed to its predecessor, which bore 3 distinct lines of glitter, as well as a darker XY Pad binding.
