Background
This guitar was bought by Matt from Mansons for touring use in 2015, as a Rig A duplicate of the Manson 7 String E Guitar.
The CE-7 was released by Mansons in 2012 as a recreation of Matt's original modified 7-string E-Series, which was most notably used on Citizen Erased (hence the "CE" in the model name).
The only visual difference between the original 7 String and this guitar is the vertical spacing between dot inlays, with this guitar having dot inlays further apart and the slightly different top finish, with this guitar having flamed maple and the original having flamed sycamore.
Touring
It was first played live at the Musilac Festival 2015 and was used for Citizen Erased. The guitar was placed in Rig A, with the original E7 in Rig B. This guitar was used the most out of the two. The last time it was used was at the Shepherds Bush Empire By-Request gig in 2017 and has not been used live since then.
