My new MSA Tour Pro pics added

Post by Johnny Cox »

Excited does not even begin to describe how I feel right now. MSA has hit it out of the ballpark once again. This is such a beautiful guitar. The entire crew at MSA always produces the finest product available.
Thanks to Kyle, Sonny, Mitchell, Woody, Scott , Mark and Blaine for their hard work and craftsmanship. Thanks also to my pal Travis Toy for the inspiration to take his brainchild into the universal world.
This is my 20th year being a member of this great MSA family and I hope for 20 more.
I visited with Reece and Kyle at Scotty's show in 2002 and got on the list for a new Millennium then. I'm thankful I got to work with these folks for a few years too. MSA raises the bar with every build. Thank you all so much.

I assume this is still a 'custom shop' guitar? The website quotes for the 10/6 Travis Toy steel but not this.

It looks like a dream come true.

Congratulations!

It's the first of the 12/6 line. Every guitar MSA builds is custom.

No sir, it's tuned to A and it's easy to tune down to E.
I'm more of a Shot Jackson/Bashful Brother Oswald than a Jerry Douglas dobro player.

I love Shot's style on steel and dobro. I kept his 7 string tuning on my Dobro for a long time. MSA guitars are indeed the bomb!
