MSA response........

Reece Anderson · Post by **Reece Anderson** » 8 Mar 2002 6:54 am

I am aware of the recent comments made on this forum by Jim Molberg.

I will however not provide a response because of the respect I have for the steel guitar community and this forum.

Should anyone care to ask me about his comments on a personal basis, I will be glad to respond.

Reese my man, there`s alway`s a party pooper!
I didn`t read the thread but our friend Jr. came into the store furious about it.
Bottom line, every one is waiting, and may I say impatiently for the new MSA, so let`s get on with the festivitie`s. OOOOOOKKKKKK!!!!!

Reece, cant wait to meet you in Dallas. Also cant wait to start those lessons.

Virtually everyone I've talked to (alot of folks) have had nothing but great things to say about you and your guitar. Bottom line for me is that my Dad played an MSA and loved it. Thats good enough for me brother so bringem on!! I'll stand in line, in the cold cold pouring rain to get one. Hope to meet you soon and your booth will be the first one I head to when the doors open in Dallas. God Bless.

Amen. Speaking of festivities, I was going to save this question for later, but I'm thinking others are curious as well; Colors: Reece, since you've been so kind to give detail on how the cabinets are formed, can the cabinets be "shot" (for lack of better description) in different colors? Is this happening now, or is this something that will be addressed later? Or maybe this has been addressed & I missed it (?) Anyway, the description U gave of the finished cabinet sounds absolutely striking. I'm just thinking if a color choice just happens to surface, make mine burgundy or dark rose.

Yes Reece, That thread was in VERY POOR TASTE. I don't feel you owe an explaination to the forum at large, and know that you will do what you feel is right.

Glad to see you are going to produce guitars again. May God shine his light on your efforts and I wish you the best of luck.

Mr. Anderson is a true gentleman and a man of integrity. My belief and opinion is that Reece has and will always do what's morally correct...I second Chuck Norris' comment...keep going forward Reece.

Thanks Bobby for closing the original posting. Let's continue to use the forum for the intent and purpose that Bobby and the gang had in mind in starting the forum. Looking forward to the new MSA Reese! Bill Simmons, Keller, TX

PS. I like what some of the other folks suggested about sending a 'donation' to the forum. What an incredible resource for the steel guitar!! I will be sending mine in Monday's mail.

I expect to hand forum donation to b0b personally at the steel show in Dallas. What a great resource for all of us.

Sidebar, Sorry to get off topic yall and Reece go for it!!

Reece,

When you begin production, make sure they are available in white.

I have never discussed MSA's business dealings of some 20+ years ago with Reece and never intend to!!

What I do know for an absolute fact is that Reece Anderson is among the very most trustworthy people on this earth. The only thing that I would require to enter into anykind of business deal with Reece is his Word and a handshake!!

The character and integrity of this man will no doubt withstand ANY accusations made!!

I wish the best of Luck and God's Blessings to Reece and MSA!!

To whom it may concern: My trust and faith in Reece is documented by the fact that I have already ordered and payed for in advance ( in full ) for one of the NEW MSA STEELS all based on Reece's WORD!!!!!!!!! This is all due to the fact I have known and done business with Reece for 35 years without a single misrepresention or lack of commitment on his part.

Chuck Martin · Post by **Chuck Martin** » 9 Mar 2002 8:32 pm

Ben,

I haven't seen enough information yet to place an order. Did you have a choice of color, set-up, and pickups? I'm not asking how much just curious if MSA is actually taking orders now?

Chuck

P.S. - I have also dealt with Reece in the past and can vouch for his honesty. He is a man of high integrity and his word is his bond.

Ben Jack · Post by **Ben Jack** » 10 Mar 2002 8:04 am

Chuck, the color will be black and will be 8 and 8 but the pickups are yet to be decided on. there are somethings that will be chosen when the actual production begins which I understand will be very shortly.

Ben

Chuck N....Thank you for your comments. I talked to Junior Knight the other day. He is a great friend.

Rick GM....I look forward to the pleasure of meeting you and having the opportunity to work with you when you come here to study.

Rex Thomas....Although we have traded personal emails and I answered the questions you asked on this forum, I will inform others who may be interested, that MSA will offer many colors as well as some in 3-D, which you have to see to appreciate.

Richard S.....Thank you for your comments and well wishes.

Bill S....I'm grateful for your kind words. May I assure you and everyone, my Faith is steadfast.

Bill L....Thank you for being part of the MSA family. I will soon contact you by personal email.

David W....I would never have a doubt. No one could have a better friend than you. See you here at our home in a few days. Teresa said she will have a milkshake ready for you.

Rick C....If anyone wants "white" on their MSA Millennium, they got it. If you are referring to a comment I made years ago in that I said a white guitar feels sterile to me when playing it, my personal opinion still stands.

Sidney M....What can I say dear friend.Your comment is appreciated beyond words. My best to your beautiful wife and precious little daughter whom I am privileged to have had named after me.

Ben J....Thank you for your continued faith and trust in me my friend. You may rest assured when you receive your guitar, you are in for the surprise of your life.

Crowbear S....Thank ou for the encouragement!

Chuck M....You will soon receive an email from me.

I really like the way you put all of your replies in one post, Reece.

Thanks.

I just cannot imagine 3-D...I will just have to drive to Recees' Factory to check it out this summer. I am saving $ as I speak!

..Now, all I have to do is decide what color

See you in Dallas, guys.

Hi Reece:
I would like to talk to you about your new guitar. I have some ideas that I would like to share with you either by phone or e-mail. Your preference of course. Please forward one or the other if you are interested.

Reece Anderson · Post by **Reece Anderson** » 16 Mar 2002 11:25 am

Ron P....We welcome visits to the MSA facitity. Looking forward to seeing you at the Dallas show next week.

Dennis M....You should have an email in your in-box.

I apologize for my delayed response. I had a computer problem which has just been resolved.

Do you guys actuallly do any playing or do you spend you time going on like old fish wives

Jody Carver · Post by **Jody Carver** » 14 May 2002 8:38 am

I have learned to believe half of what I see
and nothing of what I hear. My only experience with Mr.Anderson was many years back in the 1960's when he did a show for Sam Ash Music. As all of you will agree,,,,he
is a gentleman and a fine human being. Those
who speak without knowing the facts should
take the advice,,,"beleive half of what you see",,and "nothing of what you hear". His good friend and mine Fred McCord of Dallas know what this man is made of,,,,these unfair comments that have been made should make those who are guilty ashamed of themselves.

There will be many people who will rejoice when this conflict is over, I'm a Reece
Anderson supporter.

So Be It.
