Background
This guitar is similar to the Manson Chrome FR but based on the MManson Matt Black Stealth (batch), with both new guitars having the new Floyd Rose whammy controller system - except this guitar features an uncovered pickup.
These guitar body shapes mark a departure from previous Manson's that feature a Floyd Rose, as they do not have the rounded "Lozenge" shape.
It has been used live during Muse's latest US tour for Summer 2017.
