Definitely beautiful guitar but how many of us can afford it? I'm not sure of the Franklins these days but I'd have to wait for a used one.

As someone already said, there <u>are</u> more expensive steels to be had. No, they're not cheap, but remember...it's very new technology. Those who want one will find a way to afford it.

I'm a long time player and fan of MSA but like everyone else I'm reserving final judgement until I have a chance to see, hear, touch, taste and smell one! I've read all the comments about black legs versus chrome and carbon fiber versus wood and on and on. The important thing is how does it sound and play? The reduced weight has got to appeal to the aging core of steel players out there. At 47 I'm now looking for a lighter solution to give my back a break as well. New technology is always scoffed at. This is the same kind of skepticism I remember when tennis rackets first switched from wood to metal then to carbon fiber! Its hard to part with tradition but time and technology march on.

I've had a chance to play a Parker "Fly" six string guitar that has a body made from graphite and carbon fibers, with a foam core, and it sounds sweet and very even in its' tone. I hope the MSA sounds as good.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Andy Greatrix on 26 June 2002 at 09:48 PM.]</p></FONT>
