Fender Stratocaster
Background
During a gig in Osaka,Kyoto Japan in 2001,Matt can be seen playing an all white stratocaster.
Chris has been seen using this guitar for Hoodoo since 2006-10-24, before he changed for the PRS, which he uses currently. It's supposedly a Stratocaster, although it has a Tele headstock and it looks like it has different switches and knobs. Could be a custom Manson.
In the "Making of Uprising" pre-order download, Matt can be seen using various guitars, including a Fender Stratocaster, Gibson Les Paul and the Glitterati Manson, to play the guitar break; however, the Stratocaster is not the guitar featured on the final track.
In a couple of pictures from the studio, recording The 2nd Law, Matt has been using a sunburst stratocaster.
Chris has also been using this guitar live during The 2nd Law stadium tours for Unintended, Blackout and for the rhythm part of Guiding Light.
At the Belfast Ulster Hall in 2015, the first night of the UK Psycho Tour, Matt got a Stratocaster for Hyper Music and Agitated. The Stratocaster was also used for Knights of Cydonia at the Wales Newport Centre gig, and for The Groove at the Manchester Academy gig.
