My new MSA D-10 BB

Post by Chuck Martin »

I just bought a modified MSA D-10 SS from Bobby Bowman that's terrific. This thing is 8+6 with a heavy duty pedal bar from a classic, adjustable return springs, tunable splits on strings 5,6, and 10 and George L E-66 pickups and plays like a dream. I'm just posting this to let you guys know that Mr Bowman has a real gift when it comes to working on steel guitars. If he ever starts building his own brand I'll probably be the first in line.

Thanks, Chuck

Bobby Bowman, in addition to being about my dearest friend in the world, can do amazing things when setting up a steel guitar. A better asset to steel guitar would be hard to find, IMHO.

Well get in LINE Chuck; cause Bobby does build his own guitar and is the only true Push/Pull being built today.
It is a great great guitar.

It would be great to see some pictures or additional details about the guitars Bobby is building -- it has been a while since his last post about them.

Thanks for the kind words guys. It's much appreciated.
Jack, the new double changer guitar is getting closer every week. I know,,,,believe me I know, it's been real slow coming, but it will eventually become a reality. My repair and other work has been rather demanding for the last year or so and Mr. Fisher's pump business has been overwhelming for him (which is good). Anyway, I hope to be assymbling a new one by next week and hopefully from there get this baby off the ground and flying. When we feel that we have everything the way we want it and how it should be, we'll be posting a lot of pictures and information.
Chuck, I hope you enjoy the Classic SS and Herb, it means a lot. Ricky, I wish you much success in all your endevors. If I can be of any help just let me know.
Thanks again y'all,
BB
