Awesome guitar and truly stunning

This has always been my dream guitar, i finally was able to buy one this september at age 17 shortly followed by my dream bass which will probably be my greatest time period of my entire life just because of that. The mg69-mh is beautiful and also rare outside of japan, especially considering mustangs with matching headstock are virtually nonexistent. As for playability it plays beautifully, but it has the classic issues with tuners, switches and tremolo. Blocking this trem is a must for staying in tune and switching tunings, but it is very difficult to do so understandably not many do so. I wouldn't recommend this as a first guitar because of those, but a mustang is a must have in any collection.
