Wow, beautiful lacquer and inlay. Pretty wood necks. Pickups in top picture are a mystery. Would love to "investigate."

Kyle, that is truly magnificent.

I see Bud Carter's influence very strongly in the necks and the general lines from just forward of the changer onwards. The neck shape in particular is almost identical to those on the Carters, perhaps no surprise as Bud was involved with MSA in earlier times.

That is a proud lineage. I'll bet it sounds every bit as good as it looks, and the interchangeable pickups are just icing on the cake. Naturally the Giles cabinet is in a class of its own. Mark signs his name with his work.

Wow Kyle... You guys are turning out some real head turners!!!

Thank you all for the kind words. We are very excited and proud of our new guitars.

Our recipe for a great guitars is:

1. A Mark Giles Body
2. Microspace parts, with machining and finish second to none.
3. A Mitchell Smithey setup (by one of the best in the business).
4. The pride we instill into each guitar.
5. The fun we have producing them..

What a stunning guitar - the best MSA I have ever seen. Mark Giles - you are a genius, but I have told you that before.

You must be extremely proud to produce such a quality unique instrument as this one Kyle.

This guitar is a work of art!!!!!.. The workmanship is UN matched. These guitars play great, sound......well as good as the hands that are playing it...if your in the market for a new guitar, give us M.S.A. a look...

you won't be sorry!!

Mitchell is the greatest !!!!!.. he is a Great player and understands how they should work & fell....

Kyle never lets a guitar leave if it's not PERFECT, right down to finger prints!!!

Mark Giles, his work says it all!!!!!

I have some questions. 1- whatâ€™s the difference between the Signature model and the limited Anniversary model? 2- Whatâ€™s the price on a D-12 like this? 3- Is it a special order? Is it going to a dealer?
