This is a hand made, one of a kind, Manson Guitar Works in gold top finish.

It was custom built at Manson Guitar Works in 2014 by Hugh Manson and Tim Stark. It includes a certificate of authenticity which states how unique the instrument is and was hand signed by Hugh Manson himself in the back of the headstock. This was prior to his retirement and the company being sold to Muse's Matt Bellamy, so this is one of the last instruments he was involved before stop working on guitars that were from other clients than Matt Bellamy or John Paul Jones.

The guitar has the now very popular T-shape style of Manson's and is a gold top finish with some unique features listed below:

- Alder body

- Bolt on figured mapple neck

- Premium rosewood fingerboard with luminlay (glow in the dark) fret dot marks (both frets and side of the neck)

- Gold top finish

- Manson MBK-2 bridge pickup

- Fernandes FSK401 single coil sustainer neck pickup

- 3 way pick up selector

- 2 switches for sustainer on/off and harmonic modes

- Graphtech Ghost piezo bridge

- Gotoh hardware

- 3 way selector (piezo, piezo+magnetic, magnetic)

- 2 output jacks (piezo and magnetic)

- Hipshot D-tuner (6 string drops one tone)

The guitar is in perfect condition and the only ding it has is on the front of the headstock as can be seen in one of the pics.

This guitar was instrument number 45 hand built by Manson Guitar Works.
