Hi Ben, He really is a great player. I met him once but I don't really know him, I see him around more than anything. Hope your well.

https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/3374_IMG_2771_2.jpg Lots of people know Roy Peterman. I saw him with “the Kramer Brothers“ a few weeks ago, and Roy has been playing steel with them for several years now. He’s playing his Emmons Legrand through a quilter amp (as far as I could tell) and ...

https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/3374_IMG_2760_2.jpg I saw Gene Watson a few weeks ago and a fellow named Boo Miller is now playing with Gene Watson. First Resound 65 I’ve seen and heard. Boo played great and his guitar gets the Barry Yasika Blue Ribbon of Approval. Mike Borque is who I ...

I have probably the most unique older MSA in existence, "The Plexi". https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/299_IMG_7351_1.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT8yGHlCFsQ&ab_channel=DOUBLE10 Talk about an unusual guitar!! Wow that's really something to see. I've heard there are o...

Thanks JD!! I guess back when I was still a pup, the two big names in pedal steel were Sho-Bud and Emmons also I suppose Fender was among the contenders in those days (70’s). In the early eighties is when I started seeing MSA steels. Seemed like they sort of came and went as Mullen, MCI, Nashville, ...

Nor, that’s a start.

Fot goodness sakes, goodness gassgicious, heaven have mercy,
I spouse in SMALL way I apptrieacte your effort in sending me posts I’ve already read. I suppose if there is a flipside, at least you tried. To no avail but at least you tried.

Darvon, thanks for mentioning the book. That’s the kind of information I was fishing to obtain. I plan on looking into that. Thanks also to you Johnny for what you provided. And oh my goodness, gosh, golly gee Willikers - Bill, who’da thunk that a dad gum search of the forum would be of any help to ...

I've tried to do a search on this topic but nothing specific comes out of it. MSA is a name that's been around for a long time now but, there's such a difference between the older vs. the newer guitars. When did MSA amp up and start producing their new high end models? Was the company brand ever sol...

TO the top please

After reading some of the threads regarding my original post, Scott from MSA contacted me and one of the things he asked me for was a short video me playing the first fret which indecently was where my real problem is located. It was after I read Dale's thread, I was able to pinpoint the problem to ...

When I tried palm chimes and the pinky fingers extended across the 12th fret I always end up having one of my finger cracks were usually over one or two of the desired strings. So, what I do now is curl up my picky finger and use the flat part of the middle joint at the 12th fret from the bar fret. ...

I have a 2020 MSA Legend XL, I've been playing an Emmons LL2 for the last 7 or 8 years. One of the things I'm noticing is that on the first three or four frets, it takes a more pressure and concentration to get a nice clean, clear tone. If I'm not paying attention, it seems I get a bit of a buzz. I ...

Really sharp guitar, beautiful color!! If you tried to buy anything from MSA now the waiting list would be upwards around two years and the price would be several thousand higher too. So a really positive incentive is that there is no waiting on this one and it looks as good as a new one. I'm Just p...

Just FYI, the only reason I started this thread in the "Steel Players" section is because as "Steel Players" I believed the players who are constantly complaining about the demise of traditional style country music might breath a sigh of relief with an artist like this one on the...

I first heard of him sing a song with Willy Nelson called “Sad Song and Waltzes Ain’t Selling This Year”. I didn’t know who was singing with Willy at first. I thought maybe Travis Tritt did something a long time ago I never heard of. It wasn’t till I googled Williy singing the song that I found out ...

An Ooollllddd Reba song brought back to life, more like to immortality. I'd pay good money just to watch him just play solo, stripped down to nothing but his voice and a gut string guitar. Outrageous singer, best I've heard in years and years. This stuff gets me so deep. Not knocking the band one bi...

Really. really nice looking guitar. I had a Warmouth build and really had a tough time selling it. I like how you set it up but not everyone has the same vision when it comes to guitars. What I ended up doing was breaking it down and selling the parts. Neck, with or without tuners, body only but wit...

I just read a Facebook post by Gene Watson that alleged "Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge" will no longer allow pedal steels on their stage. Their reasoning was the amount of room a steel guitar takes up along with the fact that's it's just really not used in the newer styles of country anymore. We...
