Retro '60s! Austin Powers!
Yeah Baby this is a Musicvox Space Ranger. This is a very unique guitar. I don't think there is anything else quite like it. Made popular in the Mike Myers "Austin Powers Goldmember" movie. This was the brand of guitars that Austin's band "Ming Tea" played in the film. Surprisingly these guitars ROCK! Slim tapered neck that really has a great "Feel." The humbucker pickups sound good, overall it is a lot of fun to play.

Musicvox instruments have been played by and are favorites of noted recording artists, performers, recording studios, professional musicians, and guitar collectors worldwide. Noted owners and players of Musicvox guitars and basses include Keith Urban, Allen Woody of the Allman Brothers and Gov't Mule, Mark Pirro of The Polyphonic Spree and Tripping Daisy, Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo, Matthew Sweet, Zane Carney (John Mayer), Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick, and Matt Mahaffey, famed producer and recording artist with the band sElf.
Musicvox guitars and basses have been seen in magazines such as Rolling Stone, Guitar Player Magazine, Bass Player Magazine, Guitar World Magazine, Vintage Guitar Magazine, Guitar Aficionado, Premier Guitar, 20th Century Guitar Magazine, and Bass Quarterly (Germany). They have also been featured in the major motion picture Austin Powers Goldmember in the scene with Austin's band, Ming Tea, featuring Matthew Sweet, Susanna Hoffs, Chris Ward, and Stuart Johnson. Mike Myers and director Jay Roach selected the Spaceranger guitar and bass for its unique, flamboyant 60's Euro styling. Famed Hollywood producer Dan Schneider featured the Musicvox Spaceranger guitar prominantly on the fabulous set of his hit tv show Sam & Cat, starring Ariana Grande and Jennette McCurdy.
Musicvox has pursued an independent and novel approach to guitar design that has led to the prominence, notoriety, and worldwide recognition of the Musicvox brand and designs.
