I received my S12-8/5 all black(chrome legs)
****** MILLENIUM ******
I can not put in words the experience and emotions felt in receiving and playing the Millenium, but I will try!
Received the guitar in an extremely handsome black aircraft type case with wheels and handles for pulling and lifting.
The total weight of guitar and case was approx. 30lbs.
Opened the case, screwed in the legs(legs come with a nice monogramed pouch) and attached the pedal bar with those nifty snap
locks. Attached the 8 pedal rods, lifted out of the case in a matter of 3 minutes!
Sat at the guitar to take it for a spin and to my surprise, perfect height, copedent was right on, adjusted a couple of pedal heights
with the easy to use adjusting knob, knee levers felt great, tweaked in a couple of strings and took off( Oh, it hurt to step on those jewel like pedals). This guitar fits me like a glove,maybe beginners luck, but it is nice.
I do not play any better, but man do I sound better! I was playing the older MSA's
and a couple of the more popular guitars and
there is NO comparison. The sustain is incredible and the tone above the 12th fret is like no guitar I ever heard. Harmonics are now clear and easier to achieve and again
I can not say enough about the feel it gives me, it is like stepping out of a Corvette into a Ferrari!
Lastly, I want to stand up and applaud the people at MSA for a magnificent design and a piece of workmanship that should make you all very proud!!!
This is solely my opinion for which you may agree or disagree. Thanks for reading about my MILLENIUM experience!
