Thanks for sharing. I bought a Spaceranger 13 years ago from a gentleman in Los Angeles who owned a shipping business, and for whatever reason he was clearing out Spacerangers from an L.A. studio that were used for an Austin Powers promo video. I was interested in the guitar and didn’t even think of looking for the promo video until tonight (13 years later!!!). He gave me the impression that they made a video where a bunch of women danced in the background with these guitars. However, I seem to only be able to find the video of the “band”. Hmmm. My Spaceranger plays great, and is indeed built well, with a very nice piece of mahogany for the body, resulting in terrific resonance. Thumbs up for this guitar.

I hate to say it but if a guitar could mutate like human DNA, then this guitar could have been a victim of the Chernobyl disaster because of its exaggerated shape. No wonder it didn’t sell like hotcakes….

Mike,
I saw your cool post months ago and wanted to say hello and thanks. We spoke years ago when you started manufacturing over seas. Your products look great and I am happy to see the wide array of fabulous designs that I have loved back in production and well made. We’re back in production since 2011 and glad to be back following a health related family setback. Don’t let that bass go…it’s a piece of pop culture history and very valuable.
Hope to see you at namm!
Best regards,
Matt

I remember around the same time there was a guy making cool guitars under the Lindert, brand. I was torn between Lindert and the Spaceranger, and ended up paying a fifth of the money on a Danelectro reissue.

Hey Mike, do you have any Lindert’s in your collection?

The Belgian comical band CPex has been using a goldtop guitar and bass like yours since the 90s.

I remember being real interested in Musicvox guitars shortly after they began, and so I placed a call. I got the machine, and so I left a # for a return call, but Matt Eichen never phoned. Soon thereafter, I placed a call to a different new maker I’d been scoping out for their creative designs and had a nice chat with a very accomodating Joe Naylor. You snooze, you lose … needless to say, I’ve been a happy Reverend owner since.

Hey Mike, would you have any interest in purchasing one of these? I have one sitting around that I havent used much since I switched over to bass duty.
