Background

This was a custom prototype Manson guitar which was built together with Matthew Bellamy's mirror finish " Earls Court" guitar. Matt took delivery of both Guitars about a week before Earls Court but returned the Rust Relic in early January. Bellamy purchased the mirror finish guitar but ordered another guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo which the Rust Relic didn't have, so the guitar was returned to the Manson workshop and was for sale to the public, which in the end was sold for £2,899.00.

This guitar has never been used at a gig & original to when bought on 13th January 2005 apart from only face fret dots which were added by Manson, it is still owned by the original owner and is still in the UK.
