How many of the older MSAs are in regular use?

Instruments, mechanical issues, copedents, techniques, etc.

One of the best steels I've ever owned and I've had a bunch of 'em. This was a D-10 professionally converted to an SD-10. Got a George L in it. Never breaks a string and sounds great.

76 D-10 Bradshaw rebuild. Had it set up to my copedant and changed pickups, realized I had found "THE" guitar. It's a real boat anchor but it plays and sounds real sweet.

I always wanted to try a red Classic SS, ever since bOb sent me those 5 issues of Steel Guitarist. (though, that black one above from Skip is slick as anything!) That picture on SG's cover with Jeff Newman is so, well, Classic!

I made a mistake when I sold my '74 Semi-Classic.
That was a nice little guitar. Built solid.
