This is a series of almost identical Manson guitars that Matt uses since 2015. They replaced the original Manson Matt Black and the Manson Matt Black (batch) guitars. Like all 2015 built Mansons these guitars feature a truss rod adjuster that is placed just below the end of the neck and a slightly different bridge compared to the old Matt Blacks.

Background
It is exactly the same guitar like the Manson Matt Black Stealth except for the normal 'silver' hardware instead of the blackened hardware. Photos taken before the Psycho UK Tour started, show the guitar in the Matts guitar rack. Official Photos from Manson Guitars led to the assumption, that Matt got more of this guitars delivered, together with 4 Cort MBC-1 Matthew Bellamy Signature Guitars. The headstock of this guitar features the old Manson logo.
Touring
This guitar first appeared at the Belfast Ulster Hall on the opening night of the 2015 Psycho Tour. On this tour it was used for songs with the guitar tuned to Drop C (Map Of The Problematique, Dead Inside) and DGDGBe (Uprising).
For the club shows in the US Matt used a second Manson Matt Black 2.0, see #2.
