Background
This was Bellamy's first guitar to features an X-Y MIDI plate, able to control a number of devices, including a Korg Kaoss pad, or a Digitech Whammy etc. This feature has since been included in many of Bellamy's guitars such as the Glitterati Manson and the Seattle Manson. The guitar also has a pair of hot P90's in the bridge position and a Fernandes Sustainer pickup at the neck.
Additional Information
This was Bellamy's only hardtail Manson to remain in standard tuning up until the 18th July when it was tuned to drop D for Dead Star.
It was used in the music video for "Invincible".
