The Steel Guitar Forum

Received my New MSA yesterday! Can't play a lick but am finding things every minute I sit at it. Other than the folks at MSA having done a fantastic job building this thing, I gotta say that the pedal steel is THE coolest instrument I've ever been associated with. It's going to take a lot of time and practice but, having the music part already pretty much down, I can see all the possibilities with this thing and the pedals and levers and I am a probably going to become a complete pedal steel junkie!

Congrats on the new steel, that is a really pretty MSA!

Is there an any better feeling than opening the case on a new guitar for the first time?

Believe me, you have no idea just how many things are there just waiting for you to find them. You'll find a whole bunch today, and you'll still be finding some years from now.

Looks great - have fun!

Wow, that matching burst on the pedal rail is shizzexy!

Thanks guys - down the rabbit hole for sure. I thought the console was cool but this thing is just mesmerizing. I tried it when I was 17 but had no where near the musical knowledge or interest I do now. This should be fun!

Congratulations, Bobby. That is a beauty for sure! May the Force be with you

Thanks Fred - I'll need all the force I can get haha!

Whadda ya mean probably going to be? Sounds like you're hooked already.

You're right Bill.

Congrats on the new horn.
Welcome to the family, and enjoy the journey.

Congratulations Bobby... Very happy for you, and knew you’d be really impressed once you got it in your hot little hands.

Thanks fellas. After today I'll be off for 2 wks vacation and intend to spend a good deal of time with it - as much as my wife will allow haha.
