Hi T... I was wondering, since you have been playing all the new modern steels recently, what is the one thing that you find that most effects the tone.

John,
It's all in the hands!
Bo,
Seriously,
I've enjoyed all the guitars I've played the last few years for the different tones they offered. Having said that, I believe the pickups and scale length play a very significant part.
I am really enjoying my MSA for it's tone, detailed features and overall prestigious beauty. I would also add, the folks at MSA are the nicest and really do care about their customers and service, which is the best I've experienced. |

Tommy, I just have to know, what was it you liked about the Fessy's? I've been playing one for about a year now, and it's the best sounding steel I've ever had.

Thanks T, Pick ups & scale was the answer I was expecting..that being said.. I prefer a more mellow tone, less twang and bite..for my next steel, should I be looking for a longer scale and not an E66 pick up ? [This message was edited by Bo Borland on 06 March 2006 at 04:26 AM.] |

Tyler,
I like the the sweet tone and depth of character in the Fessenden and Jerry is certainly a fine gentleman to deal with. Can't go wrong there.
As I said in another post though, I'm enjoying the rich tone of my MSA, along with it's inherent, precision built in beauty. |

Mike,
Thank you. Good to hear from you on the forum.
I love the MSA guitar and the folks that build it. The advancements MSA has made with the pedal steel guitar is truly amazing. |

Mike,
I know you will love your new MSA. At the present, I use the George L-TW mostly and sometimes the Lawrence 710 ,depending on the venue. As you know, It's no problem changing pickups in a blink of an eye on the Millennium. [This message was edited by Tommy White on 07 March 2006 at 06:40 PM.] |
