The lighted frets seem a little silly or over the top but after using them for a while in average type gigs it is like how did I live with out this?
Extremely happy with my new MSAs

You are correct Ken: at first glance you might think, “Whats the point”, but MAN, I love these things so much... I use them just in my Studio, and the look of them says, they should be on all the time... hence why I forget to turn them off some times

I agree again Ken... If you compare apples and apples, most folks would be surprised how competitive MSA’s pricing is... Remember, all these guitars are Mark Giles works of art, and I think most folks want to compare a Mica guitar’s price with that, and thats not really a fair comparison... plus there’s a lot of extra NO CHARGE goodies... Lets face it... most manufacturers are top notch these days, and these is no right or wrong in whoever’s guitar you buy, but for me MSA is Top Shelf, and I’m very happy with their guitar and exceptional service.

Thanks, I'm really happy with color... It came out how I envisioned it, and yes the pride of craftsmanship really does show up... We are blessed to have so many great manufacturers in this country, but IMHO, MSA is the cream that's quickly rising to the top.

Dale that is one nice peice of art but just too look at to pretty to touch

That is one beautiful guitar, Dale.

The guys at MSA are awesome. What I asked them to build me, was a great looking guitar in the pic I saw. And then what they built was 10 times prettier. Mark must have been having a good day - I got lucky. I was telling an old friend about the amount of work that went into it last week end, and kind of compared the number of parts, the work it took to make it and the price, to a high end Gibson Les Paul. When I told him what I paid he was shocked - he said I thought you were going to say twenty grand haha. I can't wait til July 16th - when I go pick it up!

Thanks Susan, I kind of like her too
They just keep trying and succeeding at toping themselves at MSA

Now I've really got to get together with you, Dale! Someone else needs to drool on this beauty!!

Was thinking the same thing a few minutes ago John

If you want a truly custom guitar, M.S.A. can build it, I have had many custom built M.S.A'S ...2 with Flames, and my newest, a H.D. color combo..Truly, the best guitar you can buy... Let us build your Dream guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dang, that's pretty!!

Those new MSA Legends look so good, I almost wish I didn't already have my 2 Millies.

I think there’s a pretty good market for a Millie, Mike should you decide to sell one, and then get a Legend and have one of each... that would be pretty sweet!!!

Dale that's a beautiful guitar. Just wondering what your copedent is John

Beautiful guitar!

Here you go John

Thanks Dale I have a single ten Mullen I ordered with six pedals and five knees. My original idea was to come up with a ten string quasi universal but it didn't really work out Always curious what other players do with extra pedals. I am still experimenting.

I like everything about that guitar. I have a D-10 Studio Pro on the bench w/9x8 right now, should get it in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to get it. I think I'll go with the 705s right now. Quite a few MSA's here in the NW now.
