This is a little gem that my good friend CA Graves bought from a mutual friend BJ Wright both of Carthage TX and held for me till I was able to get down there. Love this guitar and it requires no SPLITS as the middle notes are in tune. Not sure the year! Serial #1C 6690 |

My "new to me" Universal. Rumored to be early 80's
SN 1C6974
Once a universal it is now 3x5 extended E9. Haven't heard form Kevin as to its birthday if anyone knows...
Collecting opinions if I should change the pickup.
Alumitone and Wallace True Tone so far...

I just got this MSA Legend a couple of weeks ago from another forum member. I don't know why he let go of it, but I'm glad I got it! It plays and sounds as good as it looks!

Here is my MSA Classic D10. I'd like to find out what year it's from. The serial number is 2C301. It has SuperSustain pickups, patent-pending Grover tuners, and a Bud Carter signature underneath if that helps. Can anyone help me out?

I'm going to guess around 1973, give or take a year.

Here is my early D12 I acquired recently. It is in amazing condition for it’s age! The guy told me he bought it new some time in the early to mid 1960’s. I’m currently putting it back together so that it will be playable. I also have an MSA Classic D10 that I guess is from the mid 1970’s.

Does it still work? Have you considered converting the undercarriage to a modern one?

I got this MSA Legend a few weeks ago from a fellow forum member. It is absolutely gorgeous, and plays just as well as it looks -- musical, sensitive, and precise. I'm happy every time I sit down to play it.

That question is going to take me a while to figure out the answer to! They are both wonderful, and both much more capable of making beautiful sounds than I am. So far, I mostly feel like I must've died and gone to heaven, having both of them to play!

Great idea! That is something I never thought of. I suppose I could use a D10 classic and some extra parts as a donor guitar? That would be a really big job, I wonder if anyone has done that with one of these early MSAs. It would be cool as hell but would probably cost as much as buying a modern instrument. For now it works or rather will soon. It was set up with a “unique†copedant on the C6 neck so I am changing it around so I can play it. |
