1970 MSA D10 For Sale (Pictures Added)

Kris Taylor · Post by **Kris Taylor** » 20 Feb 2007 4:27 pm

I've got an old MSA D10 from 1970 that I'm looking to sell. It has 8 pedals and 2 knees, rosewood mica in color. This guitar has a pre-Micro serial number, so it does not have the Micro parts in the guitar. It does not use bell cranks like the more modern MSA guitars, but instead uses some sort of 'pull-and-let-go' type of mechanism. It's a fairly simple mechanism, and easy to figure out and work on. It's older and a little quirky, but not really much more quirky than the Sho~Bud Pro II I replaced it with. The legs are old and tricky to tighten, but work fine. It's heavy, but solid, it has great sustain and sure would blow away most starter guitars if you are looking to get into playing steel. There is no case. I'll send more specific details to those interested.

I need $800 plus shipping for the guitar. Here are some pictures. I tried to show some added drill holes in one of the pictures, and also the mechanism. Let me know if you need more pictures.

I've got some offers below 800, just wanted to bump it up one more time to see if anyone wants this guitar for 800. I'll probably make a deal this week if there is no more interest. Thanks.

Kris, if you get the time and inclination, I would appreciate it if you would email me and tell me about what is "quirky" about the Sho Buds. I have been wanting one but am wary due to their reputation. Thanks, Gary

what are the extra holes in the endplate for? is it some kind of split tuning deal?

Craig,
The top 2 rows are the raise tune, the bottom 2 rows are the lower, the very bottom [allen] are the spring adjustment. I had one with this changer, stays in tune very well.Don't know what the 2 larger ones in the center are, maybe where tone/volume knobs were.The really neat feature about this changer is, you can raise/lower the same string with every pedal by simply adding springs, and/or collars.
