I play a red ss classic D-10. It was my upgrade from my maverick. Been playing it almost 2 years.

I just got a Thomas SD-10 so the msa has taken a back seat my last few gigs.

You can see the msa in action here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/80321703@N00/sets/72057594054744660/show

I own an MSA-Classic D-12, vintage early 1974. I acquired this guitar while on an assignment in Asia...it has an interesting history...nearly mint condition and it still weighs more than any other guitar I have ever played....but worth it. I use this guitar to learn new things and to experiment with tuning changes that I transfer to an Excel S-12U. Kind regards,

I still have a black classic D 10 8+4 I bought new in 73. I play it once in a while. It's still in nice condition,plays good,and weighs as much as it did when I bought it. It now has BL 805 pickups.

The Classic SS lacquer is a great-looking guitar - my favourite of all the MSA's.

Paul, I played a D-10 classic from 1978 until july of last year[05]. Isold it to a buddy of mine in Lafayette, Ga. Then I ordered a new SD10 MSA Millennium. For my money it is the finest guitar on the market. I really love it. I also got a new nashville 112 amp. That combination is real hard to beat. The clarity of the 112 is the best I ever heard out of an amp no bigger than that.

I play a black '74 MSA D-10 Classic,8+4 that I bought from Billy Carr.It's my only guitar and probably will be until I learn how to play fairly well.
