So I have this really great MSA Classic D12. I have no idea how old it is though. Anyone know how I would check something like that?

| Those came out around 1974 and were replaced by the lacquered finished Super Sustains by 1978 as far as I remember. |

Post the serial number, stamped in the changer end endplate. Mitchell and Kyle have the records. They can tell you completion date and Initial purchaser.

| While we're on the subject, I wouldn't mind having some info on my MSA Classic S10. It looks similar to the one above, but has the Super Sustain Pickups. Serial Number is: 1C4941 |

I'd say it was made early in 1975, probably February.  |

Would it be possible to get the birthdate info on my Classic D10? I'm the 4th owner and we all know each other. I would like to write a short history on the guitar and leave a copy in the case.
Serial Number is 2C5348
Thanks

I have one just like it, Judson. Bought it around 1976, in Maryland. Same finish, a Classic, a D 12 . . which I added pedals to! Yes, I was younger, stronger, and foolish-er!
Dragged it around for years, even overseas on 3 DOD tours.
Then I ordered a Carter SD 12!
