| Dwight, try contacting Bobby Bowman. He is a member here on the forum. He rebuilt my 74 Classic a couple years ago and installed gauged roller nuts. |

| Have you tried contacting MSA? They use gauged nut rollers on all their current models. Seems like they would be able to supply the parts you need. |

| Dwight......I can't imagine why you are unable to reach MSA. If you wish, you may contact me by email, and you will find my address on our website. I will however inform you, that the rollers we use on the new MSA will not fit on your guitar. As Don says, Bobby Bowman could be of help to you. |

I suggest that if you use a guaged roller you are kinda stuck with useing the same gauge string all the time. I had one on my MSA. I did not like it. I brought it used and really did not know what gauge string to use and it wasn't all that gteat especia;;y at the first fret.

| In my experience you are not necessarily stuck with a single gauge. You can make reasonable gauge changes and gauged rollers will still have the strings in a much flatter plain than ungauged rollers. The only exception might be U-shaped grooves that hug the strings tightly (smaller gauges might work, but larger ones might not fit). Gauged rollers are not too big a deal for 10-string E9. But they are essential in my experience for 12-string pedal steels. |

Dwight, that's MSA's number, not mine. You should ask for Kyle when you call.

I don't have gauged rollers on my older MSA's and it is not a problem for me, even when playing in F or Bb. I tend to pull the bar back to just cover the grip I'm playing. If I need to play the chromatic strings, I just slide the bar up there. This way, there's fewer strings to pick up bar drag noise.

Alright let's do this by the numbers G U A G E, no no I mean G A U G E. How about gage? And I use to work with these type of tools everyday. Just when you think you know something you don't. Keep us honest Alan.

I've been involved in the preservation of narrow-gauge railways most of my life, and for years I spelled it guage, until someone pointed out my error. Almost every time we see g and u together we almost think of it as one letter gu, much like the Dutch ij, so our mind tells us guage, as in lan-guage. Gage is a Webster invention, but it's only used in North America, whereas Gauge is universal. 
Sorry to stray off-topic. |

Do "color" and "catalog" still look wrong to you? |

No, I use them all the time, and thru, though I don't use thruout. The "our" ending isn't etymological anyway. It comes from the French "eur".
Color/colour used to be spelt "couleur", as in French, so they're both changed.
I'm not too keen on theater and meter instead of theatre and metre, though. Then there's jail instead of gaol, and curb instead of kerb. English and American spellings used to be the same until Noah Webster got his hands on them. But spelling has changed in England, too, over the years. We used to write waggon, physick, electrick, shew, connexion, to name but a handful.   |
