Title: STARCARDS SPECIAL
Post by: allen on September 14, 2009, 01:24:49 PM
Quoted from MKNews

One of the charities that Mark is always happy to support is the Great Ormond Street Children's Hostpital in London.
Later this year, in November, GOSH will be holding another Starcards fund-raiser. Among the items available will be a custom framed Fender MK Signature Strat donated by Fender UK & Bonners Music of Eastbourne and signed by Mark. The actual guitar is currently on display in Bonners in Eastbourne. (14/09/09)

A good cause for sure and I hope it reaches a high price.

But personally I think the case looks cheap and tacky. Can you open it to take the guitar out? I hope so. A fantastic instrument like this should be loved and played. (Like my signed MK strat) :)

Frame crafted by Walls of Fame, Heathfield, East Sussex,
and features a hinged front opening enabling the
guitar to be easily removed to play.

That's OK then. I still think the back of the case looks tacky though.
