Donny....Yep that's an oldie. I too would guess it to be a late 65 or 66.
Oddly enough, Junior Knight called me yesterday to ask if the serial number of an even older MSA he had just acquired might be my old MSA, and sure nuff...he's got it.
He has the one I used to recorded my very first album called "modern steel guitar". When he completes the restoration he's bringing it to my home so we can have a reunion. What a great friend.....

Dave you can,t believe how this guitar still sound,s. I am working on C6th neck but E9th has Emmon,s copedant,s and if it wasn,t so heavey i would play it to-night.If i had kept it in 1975 it would be wore out by now,i think==Jim Harper

Hey Jim,thanks for the e-mail.That is a beautiful MSA,My old 73 Classic is still going strong,I'm sure it will wear me out before I wear it out,Just my opinion,but I think they were one of the most solid guitars ever built,Guess that's the reason they are so dog gone heavy.But I love them.DYKBC.
