Information
These two guitars were delivered together with three other new Manson guitars in October 2016 to Matt. Both guitars featured the standard Gotoh bridge in the beginning, whereas one of the two guitars featured a Gotoh 510 bridge at it's first live outing.
The Holoflakes both feature Manson custom aluminium tone and volume knobs and standard chrome tuners.
Touring
Both guitars were first used for the North American leg of the Drones World Tour in 2015. The guitars were first used for Dead Inside and Map of the Problematique and were tuned as CADGBE (Drop C). Later however, the guitars (mainly the #1) were used for older songs which require a tuning of half-step down. The #2 was used until 2017 while the #1 is still used, but mainly only for Showbiz or other older songs that are played half-step down that are not played often. The #2 was again used in 2023 for Map of the Problematique during the european leg of the Will of the People World Tour.
