Great idea,especialy for us broke musicians.So far I don`t remember seeing any of the steel guitar companies offering financing, which (if you ask me) is a great thing.I never played an MSA but would definetly be interested in purchasing a professional instrument that is offered with affordable financing.If I`m not mistaken,we`ll know about that around 06.15
Maybe that will be something that will change steel guitar world making high class instruments affordable to everyone.I would sure love to see that happend.

Financing is a great idea. Problem is, that most of the builders probably don't have the ability to do their own financing. That would require large sums of money in reserve which I don't believe most have. They would be waiting probably 2 years (assuming that to be the length of the loan) to recover the 3 or 4 grand while still having to meet their obligations of paying bills, salaries, etc. They would probably have to arrange something with a lending company to do this.
I don't know how MSA plans on doing this, but I am glad to see this option available.

I have talked to Reece & Jerry about the MSA financing a few month's back as they were throwing around different options. I'm not sure which options they are going to settle on but everything they talked about was great!
To my knowledge, no other manufacturer has ever offered the type of financing MSA is contemplating.
They realize that not many people could buy a high end instrument as this will be if they had to come up with the cash for it.
If I would have had to pay cash for my Suburban, I'd still be driving my '71 1/2 ton!!

You have a treat in store. I love both of mine, although I definately prefer the maple/lacquer guitar to the mica one.<SMALL>I never played an MSA</SMALL>
I find it hard to imagine how the new guitars could be any better then the one I already have.
