From Jim Marshall
I would like to thank you personally for selecting one of our Marshall MG Series guitar combos. Your new amplifier has been designed by the same team of British designers who created all of the great Marshall amps. It is built to the customary exacting Marshall standards and will give you an incredible spectrum of sounds to complement a wide range of playing styles, as well as being designed to stand the test of time. The Marshall name has adorned many of Britain�s finest amps, from the early 1960�s through to the present day. Some of the original vintage amps have become highly sought after by both amp collectors and working guitarists alike. This new line of transistor guitar and bass guitar combos have been released to unanimous acclaim. Your combo is part of a new breed of Marshall amplifier, which has benefited from years of experience and continual investment in research and development. Not only is the sound quality of your Marshall MG Series amp of a standard that you would only come to expect from Marshall�s own design team, the Marshall G50RCD, G80RCD and G100RCD also have a CD input to allow you to play along to CD�s. The ultimate home practice facility. I would like to wish you every success with your new Marshall MG Series amplifier, which I am sure you will find a pleasure to play for years to come. Yours Sincerely,
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
