Great! Thanks Carl & Mike. I'll try to get some pics up in while, and look up the website. I'll also be asking for opinions on set-up changes shortly after I get my tiny brain wrapped around what I'm getting into. I'm somewhat a newby E9 10 string guy exploring other options. Rex

E-Mail MSA

Send an e-mail with details on your guitar to ...
Mitchell Smithey - mitchell@msapedalsteels.com

or

Kyle Bennett - kyle@msapedalsteels.com

They have records of every guitar and can tell you when it was made, who assembled and inspected it, and where or who originally purchased it.

My first 'real' steel guitar was a 1974 MSA D-10 Classic originally sold to Chicago Musical Instruments, and they had all the info.

Check out their new WebSite while you're at it...

Rex,
Our records indicate that MSA serial number 1c-120 was manufactured February 18, 1972 for Manny's Music. This is the only information we have regarding this guitar.
