This guitar is similar to the [[Manson M1D1 Stealth|Manson M1D1 Stealth]] except that it features a built-in Whammy pedal, controlled by the X-Y Screen. The whammy can be played with no external midi needed. Another difference compared to the M1D1 stealth is that the guitar features a Humbucker Sustainiac Pickup at the neck rather than a single coil and is the first Midi guitar built for Matt that features the Sustainiac Humbucker. Visually, it shares a similar appearance to the [[Manson TronCaster]], with LED lights surrounding the edge of the guitar. A demo video, posted on Manson Guitar Works' Instagram, can be seen [https://www.instagram.com/p/B-w_bE-HufD/ here].

The guitar, hardware wise, features standard tuning pegs, custom Manson aluminium tone and volume knobs and an alloy X-Y pad frame. The prototype also featured an on/off switch for the Whammy, located underneath the Sustainiac pickup. The switch was removed for the main guitar.

Background

This guitar is similar to the Manson M1D1 Stealth in terms of functionality except that it features a Humbucker Sustainiac Pickup at the neck rather than a single coil. It is the first Midi guitar built for Matt that features the Sustainiac Humbucker. Visually, it shares a similar appearance to the Manson TronCaster, with LED lights surrounding the edge of the guitar.

The guitar, hardware wise, features standard tuning pegs, custom Manson aluminium tone and volume knobs and an alloy X-Y pad frame.

A photo (see gallery) of the production of this guitar together with the Manson MB-1 Blue at Manson Guitar Works leads to the asumption, that Matt got two identical guitars delivered.

Touring

This guitar first appeared at the first night of the Simulation Theory World Tour 2019 at the Toyota Center Houston gig, and was used throughout 2019. It was used exclusively for Break It To Me. The guitar was labeled by Matt's tech as "3" and "Drop B" during the Simulation Theory World Tour.

The guitar was initially assumed to be retired from live use after Break It To Me was dropped from setlists, though the guitars presence on the guitar rack in Euphoria performance music video suggested it could be used later during the tour. This turned out to be the case, as in Milan in October 2022 it was used for New Born. The guitar has not been used beyond this gig however.
