You'd have to sell it for $2K and put in another $4K. I don't think there will be much of a rush to do that.

Eddie-I don't think so.

The Carter is a well built,lightweight,good sounding, and reasonable priced guitar .

Along with their quick delivery, I don't think they have to worry . They are selling lots of Carters......al Image

That beautiful red wonder was on the opry but not the operator. Too bad, I had my finger on the record button just in case.

I had the good fortune to play Tommy's new Millennium at the Opry this past weekend. What a guitar! Plays great, sounds great, looks great. The MSA Millenium is not just another guitar, it is the New Standard in pedal steel guitars.

Johnny,

Did you play the MSA on Connie's set? I heard it on the radio broadcast and you sounded exceptional. It was your usual commanding touch and tone; was that really on a guitar other than your own?

My new MSA is as my good friend Johnny Cox said, "A new standard".
I'm amazed with the technology, thought and care MSA has put into this instrument to make it the definitive new pedal steel. From it's vast and expanded tone range to it's consistancy of staying in tune, it is simply the best option for me.

Mike H. I did play Tommy's MSA on Connie's set, actually all four sets.

Tommy, Thanks for allowing me to play that wonderful instrument.

If I had 6000 dollars that I didn't need, I would get one and try it. But I don't see that happening.

Hey Mike! Can I add my name to your charitable cause? Christmas is only a few months away and this would be the perfect gift! Ok...so we would need $12000 instead of
$6000. Had to at least ask. Image

I'll stick with Log for now, maybe I'll be lucky enough to find some fibre log along the river.

Oh Mike, you didn't know? The fund for your new guitar has already been formed. It was formed the day after the new Millenium was announced. It contains $4.86 already. Image

Has anyone seen any pictures (or in person) any of the other 6 colors that MSA has available?

I just heard Johnny's songs with Connie Smith on the Opry archives. I doubt if there will be any more posts questioning the tone of the MSA, at least anyone who heard it last weekend. This pains me greatly, but I thought it had a better tone than the LDG had. (Damn, that hurts!!!)

Sorry Tommy, but I actually sought-out Connie's set to hear her, and I had to listen to Johnny while I was listening to her!
