From time to time there have been posts about slow, reluctant, and unsatisfying support experiences from various steel guitar manufacturer's. Let me briefly recount two experiences with MSA.
Shortly after I bought my M3 in Dallas and returned to KansasCity I found a couple of significant setup issues that I lacked the expertise to correct. Within a few days Kyle Bennett arranged for Johnny Cox to take valuable time away from a gig on the road to turn his motel room into a repair shop and set up my guitar.
Three days ago, a part broke on a gig suddenly plunging my A pedal to the floor and leaving me in a desperate mess with upcoming gigs. I emailed Kyle a description of the problem and a fuzzy photograph of the part at 3 am. At 8 am the following morning I got a call from Kyle! One day later the parts arrived with detailed instructions on the proper installation procedure. A few minutes later I was back in action.
While I have heard contrary opinions, I am pleased to say the courtesy, support, and assistance I received was exceptional, gratifying, and saved the day!
More power to MSA and the M3! It is a great guitar and MSA is a responsible company!

MSA support
For me, customer service at MSA has been fantastic. The response time to any concern is immediate, and they really go above and beyond on any issue you might have. [/list]

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

Thanks Keith! Guitar came that way from David Wright who played it before I got it. Sounds even better than it looks. It is a HOT guitar! The picture doesn't really do justice to the black metal flake...
