I’m curious what year my MSA was made. How do I figure it out?
The serial number is 1C 5401. Does that help?

Re: What year is my MSA Classic
They must have been cranking them out that year. Mine is 1C3726 born 11/5/74 : 805 units later (if they are sequential).Bobby D. Jones wrote:I have MSA S10 White Drift wood, Ser. No.1C2921 It was born July 9,1974 by MSA's records.
I'm going to list mine for sale soon here by-the-way. Built by Bud Carter, shipped to Chicago Musical Instruments on 11/5/74. I have to get some photos taken.
A banjo, like a pet monkey, seems like a good idea at first.

Definitely... averaging 500-1000 per year over 10 years. I doubt you'll ever see any company do that again.Brooks Montgomery wrote: They must have been cranking them out that year.
(Kinda like what Henry Ford did with the Model T.)
