Bobby,

Is this still around..? If so, I'll take it...

Rich Currier
MSA Classic D-12

As I'm sure we all know... A D-12 isn't any good unless it weighs at least 100 pounds...

Rich

Dave,

What a great looking gitbox. I didn't know my double 12 had a little bro... Mine's dated 1976 too, but it has the silk screen graphics.

Rich

I have one of the old volume pedals for sale. It's in great shape, but is too high profile to fit comfortably under my D-12. I'm willing to go for $100 plus shipping. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix0808/1037_ShoBud_volume_pedal_1_1.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix0808/1037_ShoBud_vo...

Sean,

PM with picture sent...

Rich Currier

I have one I was just getting ready to put up on Craigslist. I can send you a couple of pictures if you'd like. It has the box too. I'll let it go for $120 shipped.

Darryl, B0B & Earnest are quite correct in that you can tune these things any way you want. I believe mine is set up as a factory MSA default. Your issue is probably more the right hand spacing. My mother used to tell me I had a pianist's hands (long & slender fingers). Great, I guess, on a ...

Darryl, I've been playing my MSA D-12 for about 4 years now & anymore, it's difficult for me to play a D-10... The E9th neck has 2 extra lower strings, but the C6th has 2 higher. As a result, I orient my right hand for any given grip that's different than on a D-10. Not a problem on the E9th, bu...

Jamie, Thanks for the info. I'm used to raising E's on LKL & lowering them on RKL as I was brought up on Sho~Buds, but I'm game to try it. I usually play at Buck's in Woodland Park on Sunday afternoons. They do a country and western swing jam, so I get a C6th workout too. I'd like to get back to...

Rick, Which knee levers do what on your rig..? I wouldn't mind dropping in, but I don't want to embarass anybody by hitting the wrong ones. I do that enough on my own D12... I live up the pass in Woodland Park, but work down in Briargate, so I pass by the Hogan on my way home every night. Sounds lik...

John,

The IIB is the mail as of yesterday. Should make the trip all the way from Colorado Springs within a week or so.... Probably should have driven up I25 with it. It would have taken an hour or so... Ah well, must keep the postal folk employed...

Rich

John,

Looks like the only Hush I have left is a IIB. Sorry to get your hopes up...

Rich

P.S. If you want it, I'll send it to you free-o-charge...

John,

I'll check when I get home, but I seem to recall I have one in my spare parts closet...

Rich

Is the snake still available..?

Now, wait just a hold on there......

I thought I heard somewhere that Y'all was singular and that if you wanted the plural, it had to be All y'all...

So, whassup widat..?

Bill, A year or so back, I was playing in a bar up here in Woodland Park Colorado. During a break, a young lady approached me & asked me if I knew who Jimmy Day was. I proceeded to tell her he was a legend in these here steel parts & went on about some of his history. I thought she just pull...

Guys,

If you don't make a deal on that Tele, let me know. I'd be interested in taking it off your hands...

Sorry for the thread-jack...

Thanks folks...

This guitar is heading out to the West Coast as soon as I get finished packing it up. I hate to see it go, but it looks like it will be well cared for...

B0B, a donation will be forthcoming as well.

Rich

Folks, I have a very green Lloyd Green I'm looking to adopt out to a good home. Ever since I picked up my MSA D-12, I've been playing the C6th constantly & I know I can never go back to a single 10... It's an early 80's model & has Sho~Bud's standard copedent as follows: - Emmons pedal setup...

I just gave Dave a call to verify the brand & he said it was a Fender 1000 single neck.

Russ was cranking on that Carter last week. That guy has not lost a step...

Paul played a Strat all night... No White Falcon... Hmmm....

Rich

Rusty invited my bandmate (Dave) & I to a Poco concert in Denver last week & we all got together after the show for a drink & took some photos. Dave had an old pic of them back in high school that he scanned & I thought I'd post both. I think you'll agree neither has changed a bit......

Just a quick footnote about Rusty's new website (sessioncats.com)... He's going to be doing remote steel parts for folks that want him on their albums. Sounds like a great way to get a HOF sound on one of your tunes. My band is certainly going to make room for him on our next one. My bandmate had a ...

Wally, Just a little bump for you here... When I saw this MSA, I did a double take. It looks just like mine (except mine is a D12). I was told by Reese that my serial number (2C5279) was made in Sept 1976, so yours is probably a little newer. My MSA has taken over as my regular gigging axe and I now...

Guys... Absolutely right... I backed the nylon nut out, retuned the open string & then slowly brought up the tuning on the raise. I checked the open tuning frequently to see if it was affected, but it worked. I was pulling the 1st string up a step using RKR & I think it hit it's limit, since...

Folks, I'm having a problem with my MSA Classic & I was hoping someone could clue me in on the obvious solution. It has to do with a knee lever. After I've tuned a string to pitch, I engage the lever & attempt to tune the raise. I can adjust the nut so that the raised string is in tune, but ...
