Matthew Bellamy owns many Manson guitars, of which all were built by Hugh Manson except the Mirror Kaoss, Doubleneck and Keytar which were built by Tim Stark. All of the guitars made for Matt (other than the Manson 7 String E Guitar) are styled in a custom shape that Matt created with Hugh Manson several years ago, ( The Mattocaster Shape). Matt wanted something that had "the body of a Fender Telecaster and the sound of a Gibson Les Paul", and here we are today.
