The Steel Guitar Forum

I picked up my new MSA Millennium last Tuesday at the factory in Dalls. WOW what a guitar. This thing fits me like a pair of socks, plays great and the sound is unbelievable. Thanks to Reece, Klye, Sonny, Jerry, David and all the people behind the scenes for a true masterpiece.

Great to meet you in Dallas. Enjoyed hearing you play in person. I especially liked your comment "I don't just play this guitar, I wear it" I hope my MSA Millinnium gets to sound like yours one day. Practice practice practice

Johnny, I must agree this is one fine instrument being built by one fine bunch of people. I was really impressed with the tone and smoothness of this guitar as well as the beauty. They have really put a lot of thought in this machine and loaded it with features.

I really enjoyed hearing all the demonstrations you and Reece did on these guitars as well as David Wright really tearing it up on a couple of different occasions.

I was also fortunate to be in the MSA room when Hal Rugg & John Hughey tried out the new MSA's and it was very obvious that they were highly impressed as every one else was that I saw try one out.

I have just never heard this kind of clarity and string seperation on any other guitar. That, teamed up with a first class organazation, make the Millennium the top choice of steel guitars in my book!

Thanks Reece, Johnny, Jerry, Kyle & Dave for all your generosity and making this one of my most memorable steel shows ever!!

I have to say this. My wife and I walked into the MSA room in Dallas and my mouth fell open and I turned and looked at my wife and she was agape also. Johnny Cox was demonstrating his new guitar and my wife even was really impressed with the quality of sound coming from the Millenium steel guitar. (my wife is tone deaf!!!) MSA has really produced a top notch instrument. Unfortunatly I will have to drool for some time before I can afford one,, but let me tell you,, when I get the money for it,, I will be a happy steeler!

Got mine on order! All black carbon fiber D-10 with 8+7 I really believe that this is the most significant improvement in pedal steel guitar design to come down the road in the last twenty years and a truly inspiring instrument to play
