I have had this guitar for three days now and it reaffirms my belief that these guitars are the single most undervalued steel on the vintage steel market.

I picked this guitar up from Tom Mcdonald. To say that it is mint is an understatement.
I had to put new pedal rods on it because it was a little tall for me. When I met Tom in the Hillsboro outlet mall parking lot, he gave me a bunch of rods and told me that "John Fabian says these will fit you perfectly". LOL... well of course, John knows me and my vertically challenged body habitus (They fit perfect John, thanks)

The guitar has Jerry Wallace pups on it and they sound great. Triple raise/Triple lower changer, black lacquer body and wood necks.
The end plates look near showroom new. I think it weighs about the same as my D10 Emmons. Amazingly, it is every bit as smooth playing as my Emmons. The sound is more mellow however than the BL710s I'm running on the Emmmons. Still, I will never have to apologize for the tone. (just my playing )

Steel guitars best kept secret.... the old MSA's
