Background
Very Similar to the Manson Chrome FR, however, the 2.0 version features no (Yes/No) switch and no mini kill button. The guitar also features a humbucker Sustainiac pickup in the neck, unlike its predecessor the Manson Chrome FR which has a single coil Sustainiac. The chrome covered MBK-2 bridge pickup was replaced at the start of the Will of the People World Tour with an Origin Etched Psychopaf PF-1.
Touring
The guitar was first used in 2022: three times during the Will of the People Festivals Tour and once during the Will of the People Theatre Tour as a backup of the Manson Chrome FR for gigs where Matt couldn't have all his usual gear. During 2023 and 2024, it was used exclusively for You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween.
From 2025 onwards, the guitar is now used for any songs that require a whammy bar and E♭ tuning, due to the band now playing certain songs half a step down to accomodate Matt's voice. It is labeled by Matt's guitar tech as "1/2 Step Bender".
