"just removed the word Semi".... LOL! Great!

Thanks!

Thanks. I thought I'd read that they were open to upgrading.

Here's photos of the undercarriage and end block.

How likely is an old MSA Semi-Classic, 3 pedals, 1 knee lever, able to accommodate an additional knee lever to expand the function. Current lever drops 2 strings by 1/2 step.

Has anyone else seen a relatively (post covid) recent price on an MSA Semi-Classic? Thanks!

Thank you! That's more info than I've found so far. Appreciate it very much!

Looking for current 2023 value of an MSA I'm thinking about selling.

Thanks!

Any ideas on what this should sell for to someone other than yourself? Original HS case. Everything works, just missing one knob.

Thanks

Interested in an old 8 string National lap steel?

Thanks Kevin! Very kind of you... even nicer than John, since you are interested in charity instead of self enrichment.
So I couldn't put any kind of value for the donation on my taxes? Dang!

I could be coaxed out of the set... Very Happy

Doug,
You are the only person I've come across who's even SEEN, let alone had those pedals. Mine is noisy, but it's not used. I use a regular old EB when I ...

I have an 8 string National that looks identical to Freddie's, except that it has the Roman Numeral fret markers.

Do you think it is also the 1010?

Thanks,
Dave

I've had this set for years and have never run across another Supro WITH a matching volume pedal... and I've looked.

Thanks John!

Did they just call it a Special 8? Not a New Yorker or Dynamic Special?

Any idea on what these are going for?

Dave

Please help me identify and perhaps evaluate this National 8 String lap steel, serial V-13xxx.

Hi,
The plastic tuners on an old National lap steel crumbled recently. Can the buttons be replaced or is it a matter of finding the entire tuner sets? (3 on a plate).
