Simply stunning, and a beautiful combination of wood and trim. I'm a bass player but I'd buy one of those in a flash!

btw guys - what calendar/ Have I been missing something? :)

Congrats! Heresy to some, I'm sure, but MG generally doesn't do much for me. That one? Yep, does it for me -- and then some. :shock:

A beautiful guitar - congratulations, Ron!

Is there any history or story behind it and particularly the tortoiseshell binding?

The seller bought the guitar from a dealer in Stockholm selling it on consignment for a Swedish artist named Anders Glenmark, who had the guitar since the 1980s. I don't know the story on the tortoiseshell binding. It appears original and likely was a custom order -- along with the inlay on the first fret.
