Gave my MSA a fresh polish and set of strings tonight. Just thought I'd share the love...

Bryan,

Thats one pretty guitar! Remember do not wear loafers and jeans shorts out in public, especially with no socks.

Some folks have asked what I maintain with. Simple...
Body - Pure Carnuba Wax
Changer - Lighter Fluid & 3-in-1 oil
Metal- Maas and/or McGuires Wadding

I do, however, have a problem spot on the front left apron. The axe sat in the case under a bed for about 20 years and over time somebody's handprint got into the metal. I wonder if that could be professionally buffed out?

Bryan,
Semichrome, or Mothers may work, I would try Semichrome first, or white rubbing compound. Love that color!!!

Great looking guitar, Bryan. As you know, I kind of like those MSA's, especially red ones.

Bryan, I think Mr. Crabtree would cry if he saw it. She's a beauty. I almost bought it myself...

At first glace it looked like one of the new ones. Great shape! I had an MSA U12 burgundy lacquer that shined up quite nice. The MSA lacquers are really eye-catching.
