Background

This guitar is similar to the Manson M1D1 Blue 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. A demo video, posted on Manson Guitar Works' Instagram, can be seen 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.


Touring

It is unknown at this time if it has been used live. It was would be used exclusively for Break It To Me as the built-in Whammy allowed Bellamy to play the pitch-shifted solo without having to rely on a foot pedal, controlling the Whammy via the X-Y pad where it can go from -2 octaves to +2 octaves from the same screen, also if you take the hand off the screen it will mute the guitar signal.
