Is this real?

I didn't think it was something Bjorn made. I tried to report it, but it was rejected with a note that basically said Buyers Beware.

That looks like a prototype FGC. I was lucky enough to own one before the FGC was released. The switch instead of a knob is correct.

C= compressor
S= Sustainer

The Sustainer is worth the price of admission !!!

HI there,

That’s an MP proto made in Finland- either by Jukka T Mönkkönen or Engineer Eriksson.

Engineer Eriksson is a member of bjfe.org and might tell some stories. I had the pleasure of meeting him in Helsinki last year.

There is a BJFE prototype but it says BJF on it.


At the time this was made I made several products for MP in a short time and MP made prototypes to do beta testing with and those were later sold on e-bay and there are also a few LGW-, DBD-, FRF-, TOP-, FGC-,MYT-, SHOD-,SBOD-and SWAW-protos et.c floating about

This type of prototypes were only done for the hand made series and may have inscription on bottom plate who built it

Have fun
BJ
