In Search of Owner of New MSA

Post by Gus Callaway »

I have a new MSA legend D10 on the way, and need a measurement for my tab rack. If you have a similar guitar, could you take this measurement and give me the length? It is the distance from the top of the leg to the top of the guitar:

Tom Bradshaw's tab rack comes with leg mounts, and will fit om any steel, regardless of size.
Please visit my web site and Soundcloud page and listen to the music posted there.

It fits, but I have a heavy song book that requires extra support. Tom recommended adding a "shelf" that will rest on the top of the guitar, and asked for this measurement.

"Top of the guitar" is a little tricky, because on mine, the wooden top is about 3/16" up and 3/16" in from the top of the metal end piece. The metal part is right at 3 1/8".

Me, I'd add plenty of padding if I was going to make any of it support a heavy song book. You might consider scanning/printing the specific songs you're interested in?

Thanks Al, that's what I needed.

I use the real book for jazz gigs, and it's important to be able to pull up a song if someone calls one out. The light weight solution would be an iPad, but for my current budget I went with the hard copy version.
