'70s MSA D-10 8x4 Classic. (SOLD)

Post by Lynn Stafford »

I'm selling this beautiful guitar on consignment for a nice family in Klamath Falls, Oregon. It was originally purchased directly from MSA and very well cared for, until the owner passed away in 1985. It's been in storage ever since and the family has finally decided to let it go to a new home.

Both the guitar and case are in immaculate condition, as you can see in the photos below. I just finished revising the guitar to a very standard Emmons setup, with the E's on the left. The RKR drops string 2 to D and 9 to C# and the RKL raises string 1 to G and lowers string 6 to F#. The C6 neck is standard, with the 3rd string drop to B on the RKR. I of course changed the strings, detailed it and set it up to play perfectly. I could revise the guitar to Day setup for free if required, as well as other changes within reason (providing the guitar will accommodate them). Any parts required will be extra.

Please note: This guitar is 1" lower than standard height. It's a very simple process to install a lift kit, if required.

As you can see, even the original owner's manual is included, along with the case keys.

$1900.00 plus shipping. PayPal (add 3%), cashier's check or personal check accepted (but you'll have to wait for a personal check to clear before shipping).

Thanks for the kind words, Jim!

Yes, this is one clean guitar for being about 40 years old. Very little playing hours on it from what I can see and no wear and tear whatsoever.
