The Steel Guitar Forum

Just kidding about the MSA. It's just all they have on them so far. Nobody go nuts on me here.. The Google "Image Search" is an amazing tool to get and/or find pictures.

Here's the one for "Sho Bud"

Hi Eric....Thanks for the information and I appreciate your interest by going to the trouble of a search.

However, upon close examination one will find they can't be referenced relative to MSA steel guitars because they spell Millennium differently.

Ah yes, I just noticed that.

Irreguardless, it is a good image search engine I just found.

Thanks.

In any case, it's a nice gas mask.

A carbon fiber gas mask?

My sister and brother-in-law work for the "other" MSA. Gas masks, etc.

Small world. I hear their older gas masks are still working, but very heavy.

Joey....Upon close examination and comparison you will find the excessive weight of the older gas mask is attributed to the carrying case and not the mask itself.

Reece...do you still have that picture of the MSA corporate jet hanging on your wall?

(inside joke)

What happened to the MSA Millennium photos that were on previously, showing the SG from several vantage points -- exterior, undercarriage, etc.? I tried to find them later and they were gone.

Reece,

Just wanted to point a couple things out.

I couldn't find "msapedalsteels.com" through a search engine (google.com) with the words "MSA Pedal Steels".

I assume your site is pretty new (love the splash page), and therefore not indexed in search engines yet (if it was submitted).

Also, I looked at the source code for the webpages (html) and didn't see any metatags that search engines look for when doing a search.

Websites are my business, so I'm not just blowing hot air or hustling work, just wanted you to know.

Wishing MSA the best of luck for 2003.

Drew, you made a common phrase search error. If you take the last "s" out (and search again using "msa pedal steel" and not "msa pedal steels"), you'll get several hits on the first couple GOOGLE pages. Using the double-quotes in searches is almost always more successful <u>without</u> an included ending plural, as it's less limiting.

Not all web-page designers (or search engine users) remember this fact...which is easily corrected by putting an ending plural form somewhere in their page, and this causes lost hits. Does this make a big difference? Yes..."gibson guitar" gets over 30,000 hits, while "gibson guitars" gets less than 20,000.
