Got it!

Post by Bobby Nelson »

Received my New MSA yesterday! Can't play a lick but am finding things every minute I sit at it. Other than the folks at MSA having done a fantastic job building this thing, I gotta say that the pedal steel is THE coolest instrument I've ever been associated with. It's going to take a lot of time and practice but, having the music part already pretty much down, I can see all the possibilities with this thing and the pedals and levers and I am a probably going to become a complete pedal steel junkie!

Congrats on the new steel, that is a really pretty MSA!

Is there an any better feeling than opening the case on a new guitar for the first time? :D

Believe me, you have no idea just how many things are there just waiting for you to find them. You'll find a whole bunch today, and you'll still be finding some years from now.

Looks great - have fun! Image

Wow, that matching burst on the pedal rail is shizzexy!

Thanks guys - down the rabbit hole for sure. I thought the console was cool but this thing is just mesmerizing. I tried it when I was 17 but had no where near the musical knowledge or interest I do now. This should be fun!
