How come still no pictures of colors on new MSA

Why are there still no pictures of different colors on the MSA website? And, to the people that have received their new steels, why haven't you posted your pictures, or at least described them? Who's going to order a $6,000 guitar without knowing what color they're getting? How bout some colors. Mr. Anderson? Thanks

I believe Reece said, in a previous post, that they can make it any color you want! It would be kind of hard for him to have 16,000,000 different pictures on the website.

(LOL!)

(Sorry Reece, I couldn't resist!)

Mine is gloss (super) jet black, and I wouldn't trade it for any other two steels out there.

If this is true, Donny, then why does it say on the website,

"Millennium is now available in 7 solid colors: Vestal White, Royal Blue, Jade Mist Green, Vivid Red, Claret (burgundy), Sable Brown and Super Jet Black (shown above). Millennium is also available in clear which exposes the Carbon Twill Fibers. The Twill Fiber is available in Black/Gray (standard), Red/Black, Orange/Black, Blue/Black, Purple/Black and Green/Black. Millennium's clear topcoat finish is aircraft two-part epoxy. VERY DURABLE!"

(Sorry, I couldn't resist!)

Who's going to get one of these colors if they can't see what they look like? Black is the only one on the website. Of course, red is on the Opry every Saturday.

The website hasn't been updated in months. I would expect more from a company wanting to take six thousand hard earned dollars out of one's hands. Just an opinion.

Sorry Abraham, I didn't mean to get you all riled up.

Here's a link to a post that has good pictures of the red, and a turquoise blue.

As you stated, their website hasn't been updated in a few months, and this may be the reason for the limited colors mentioned. Keeping in mind that a green Emmons looks pretty much like a green MSA or Carter, (to me, anyway), what color would you like to see...or buy?[This message was edited by Donny Hinson on 16 March 2003 at 01:38 PM.]

Abraham....Our intentions were to post other colors on our website before now, however the order input exceeded our expectations, which necessitated a change in priority.

Our decision to change the order of our priorities should in no way imply we are not conscientious in our efforts to please everyone.

I went to the MSA factory (the week before the TSGA convention) with Johnny and Joan Cox to pick up his new MSA. Kyle Bennett showed us the plant and the many cabinets they have in stock (nice variety of colors). They assured me that when the time is right for me to purchase one, they will discuss every detail including the color I want.

Bottomline is if someone is going to buy a new MSA, you can be certain the MSA team will help you with your color selection before your purchase.

I must apologize for my "mouth runneth over."

Producing steels should be the priority. I sometimes get riled up, and, as a result, make myself look a little foolish.

I actually tried one of these steels out at Johnny and Joan Cox's lovely home. Of course, that's enclosed in another topic.............
