Verified via Photo

Matt Bellamy can be seen with a Manson Red Carbon guitar in this photo. It's a replica of the original Manson Red Glitter 1 (also called "Santa") destroyed in 2010. Like the orignal and all the guitar order by Bellamy at that time (around 2010), it features a Fernandes Sustainer and a MIDI pad (in order to control a Digitch Whammy Pedal or a Kaoss Pad), but no Zvex Factory or MXR Phase 90.
