Background
It was built at the same time as the Rust Relic for the December 2004 Earls Court Exhibition Centre concerts.
Specs
The only internal effects are the usual Fuzz Factory and MXR Phase 90. Originally with a Rio Grande Covered Bastard on the neck and Rio Grande Crunch Box on the bridge. Now has a Mississippi Queen on the bridge and neck positions. The guitar now features a string tree on the headstock.
Touring
At the War Child gig Matt smashed this guitar first into Dom's bass drum, then a few times into his Dickinson amp and finally across Dom's drum kit. Some pieces of the mirror cover can be seen detached during the impacts. The guitar has been repaired since, and was seen back in action at the April 10th, 2013 Toronto gig. While the guitar was being repaired Plug In Baby was removed from the setlist. According to Tim Stark's facebook page, the mirror has a brand new body and a photo shows the missing toggle killswitch.
This guitar is now mainly only used for Plug in Baby live.
