Kind of looks like a Woodshop/Metalshop project.  |

There is something weird about that guitar.Maybe it's just the fact that the rear neck was taken off and without a pad it makes the whole guitar look too wide.
The blonde color also looks a bit strange
Aside from that and the Emmons fret board, I recall from memory that: The pedal bar and pedals look like MSA. As well, the undercarriage looks authentic to me.
The key head likewise. The pillow blocks are MSA as well. Ditto the loose knee lever.
The small pics don't help. For all we know it could be a home built, from readily available after market parts.
There's just something about that cabinet...
It will be interesting to see the winning bid... |

The rear neck was not taken off. There is no opening routed out for the changer to fit down into. The top plate of the body has been changed. |

Un-edicated guess....MSA parts, home/shop built cabnet. The bottom level looks too wide ( as per Bent )but the end plates look original and unmodified. Also looks too long,but all the underside parts look original MSA stuff that fit the cabinet & pedalboard. There is another homebuilt on this persons website.

I saw an MSA SD-10 about twenty some years ago in SoCal that looked like this guitar but it had a pad. My question about this one is.....Didn't the MSA and Emmons have a different scale length? If so, and this is an MSA, the fretboard wouldn't work. Maybe they are the same scale but I always thought an MSA was the same scale length as a ShoBud.....JH in Va.

Couple of 'ya got it right!  This was (quite obviously, I might add), a D10 MSA. It's body has been replaced, and it's been made into an S10 "loafer", minus a pad. With exception of the fretboard, body (and maybe the neck), everything there is MSA. |

MSA Classics are 24" scale, which is the same as an Emmons P/P, if memory serves me right (which sometimes it doesn't).

Its doin ya right this time Darvin. That axe is all MSA but the fretboard.
That is probably why the guy offed it, intonation is driving him up the wall, and things really turn to $h!t upon entering "Hueyland".
The MSA is indeed a 24" scale, that Emmons fret board is a 24 1/4".

If it is all MSA where is the opening for the C6 changer and the screw holes for the neck and keyhead?? |

b0b. So sorry, but I have no idea what that code thing is. I just go up to the address line and cut and then paste that. When I click on the URL, it goes right to the page with the guitar on it. What is the problem??
This is a link to an Ebay page. It probably has to have all that junk in there to get you there. |

BAz. I clicked on b0bs' link and read about two lines.....man it is easier to play over a half diminished chord with an unknown tuning than figure all that out!
Thanks for trying though. |

They're in the old mica/plywood body, which someone evidently trashed (and replaced with a new, home-made body). |

does this:
CLICK HERE
The problem is that those long URLs cause horizontal scrollbars on the whole page, which makes it hard to read for everyone.

There were loafers made back in the day with double neck endplates but I guess there should still be screwholes for the pad. Maybe you guys are right about the home made cabinet.
Post the serial numbers and this whole mess can be cleared up very quickly by the "Reece".

b0b. I believe I understand what you are saying now, even though when I clicked on your "click here" the Ebay page comes up fine with no horizontal scrollbars at all. So you are saying that some people will get these and some won't with the long URL? |

| That knee lever probably works quite smoothly sitting on top of the guitar. |
