MSA Pro-Am

Post by Mike McBride »

MSA Pro-Am 10 string, single neck, 3 pedals , no knee levers currently. It has a solid wood body, not plastic.

I have been using it as a Don Helms-style 8 string E13th non-pedal though the previous owner used the pedals.

Includes heavy duty original case. $ 500.00<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Mike McBride on 29 December 2004 at 04:52 PM.]</p></font><FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Mike McBride on 31 December 2004 at 04:41 AM.]</p></FONT>

Yes but it will take me a few days to secure some digital photos.

I have only played non-pedal steel & have been playing since March. My understanding of how the pedal mechanisms work is very limited.

There is one just like mine on E-bay right now (Item number: 3768610238).

I have previously sold items on this Steel Guitar Forum and have had very positive feedback from the buyers.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Mike McBride on 10 December 2004 at 02:34 PM.]</p></FONT>

The MSA Pro-Am is a great little guitar. We made hundreds of them. It even has a triple raise and triple lower pulling system.

The finish is extremely durable, as time has proven. It is extremely lightweight and it came with a very nice moulded case. Incidentally I still have a few of those cases.

As far as the missing knee levers, I would hope they are still available. If not, possibly someone on the forum could help with replacement.

This guitar came from the factory with a knee lever. The lever is missing but the mechanism is still in place.
