No questions asked. good luck Ron!

	Seven years ago Marnix fell in love with MXG as the ultimate stratocaster guitar. Then the guitar was way over his budget, (today it wasn't). Marnix loves this MXG. a special order job, a beautiful quilted top, black guard, ebony fretboard with the falling leaves inlay and EMG SA-89 pickups. The extremely well-defined sound is a pleasure for the mind, the playability is a delight for the body. They do not come more beautiful than this! The guitar really invigorated Marnix' playing, who comments: "It's an inspirational instrument to own!"

He HAD to own this beautiful Historic. After this he had the whole weekend to explain this scapade to his lovely wife! Good luck with the guitar Luis!
