It is very likely that this guitar is a Fender Custom Shop model. It is very similar to the Custom Shop Master Built [[https://reverb.com/item/7424651-fender-custom-shop-master-built-scott-buehl-aluminum-hydroform-stratocaster|Aluminium Hydroform Stratocaster]] built by Scott Buehl, allthough Matt's guitar has a chrome/mirror pickguard.
The Tom Morello Signature Stratocaster has been released in 2020, following it's reveal at Winter NAMM in January of the same year. It's been available since March of 2020.  


Similar to his Manson’s guitars, it’s probable that there are 2 Rigs for touring certain parts of the world, there are likely 2 models of this guitar. The original Ali Mirror Strat used on the Psycho Tour and Drones World Tour featured a larger Headstock, it’s possible that there is a duplicate guitar or the neck was replaced at some point.  
The Strat was first shown by Bellamy in an [https://www.instagram.com/p/CEp6K4Cjksh/ Instagram photo], Bellamy presumably recieved the Signature Stratocaster from Morello himself.


The guitar was first seen used by Bellamy in 2015 and was used live up until 2017.  
The guitar is based on Morello's iconic "Soul Power" guitar - the modified Designer Series Stratocaster used during his time in Audioslave. It features all regulary features of a Strat but also includes a Floyd Rose Tremolo System, a kill switch, a "Modern C"-shape maple neck with 9.5"-14" compound radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo frets and a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails pickup, paired with two Fender Noiseless pickups.


The Aluminium Strat has also been seen in the studio during the making of [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]]. It was likely used on [[Break It to Me (song)|Break It to Me]] due to the distinct neck pick up sound, and a couple other songs off of the album.

It was only used once for Knights of Cydonia at the [[Wales Newport Centre 2015 (gig) | Newport Centre]] on the Psycho UK Tour's third night. Likely required as a backup guitar for that song, or Matt tried using it for one gig, but the whammy bar system wasn't as versatile as the Floyd Rose requires for Knights.
