The MG-HO is a semi-hollow “Thinline” Mustang featuring an F-hole design, giving it a unique look and a more resonant, open feel compared to a standard solid-body Mustang. These are not commonly seen, especially in this finish, and are highly appealing to collectors and players looking for something a little different from the traditional Mustang formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"846\" data-end=\"849\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1uef3h1\" data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"864\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"978\"\u003eThis guitar is in \u003cstrong data-start=\"884\" data-end=\"916\"\u003eexcellent condition (9.5\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e.
