I am so sorry to hear this sad news. My prayers are with Teresa and all his family - and of course to all my friends at MSA. Reece was my mentor and I cherish all the years I have studied with him. He was also a great friend and one of the kindest and nicest people ever. I know that he is with the Lord. I am going to really miss him!

This is very sad news, but we all know that Reese has been suffering and we do not want that for anyone.

I can't help but remember back around 1980 when I was about to purchase a new steel. I was looking at the ShoBud Super Pro.
Reese said "Now why would you choose a ShoDud over an MSA?"
He even sent me one of the new model small MSA's to try out.

Great man, great inovator and a Superb musician to be missed by the music world.

I bought my first pedal steel from MSA in 1979. Reece Anderson was the one I dealt with. This is terrible news for the steel guitar community. Such a loss is hard to accept and I pray for his family and friends during this time of sorrow.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

Reece has been my dear friend and mentor since 1972. I owe him more than I could ever repay. My prayers go out to his family and many friends who've also been forever touched by his talent, generosity, and love. RIP.
