Fred, just got back from Texas and found this thread. Jonathan is going to be the proud owner of a MSA Millenium S-12 w 8 pedals and 5 knee levers. David Wright is driving down all the way from Modesto Ca to Yuma Az. What a BLESSING! Thanks to David and the guys at MSA,David donated an effects loop, Big Jim donated a volume pedal and probably a lot of other folk were involved in making this happen. Its all going to happen this weekend. we are having a get-together at our home Bud Isaacs and his wife Geri are going to be here, Hap Young and his wife Fay (the guy that encouraged Jonathan to start playing) are going to be here and alot of Jonathans music friends will be here it will be a great time and Jonathan is soooo excited. The new guitar will be e-9 tuning with two extra strings and a whole lot more knee levers and pedals. He says he wil be able to play a lot more chords whith this one, well have to wait and find out im sure hes got something up his sleeve. We are planning to take pictures and will post them on the forum thanks again to everyone you all have very big hearts!
Gods blessings on all of you,
Randy and Jonathan
by the way, Jonathan said to tell everyone HI |

David...
I want to publicly thank you and all the MSA team for what you are doing for my little buddy Jonathon. He is a deserving person if there ever was one. MSA and David have gone above and beyond to provide this boy with a new Millenium. Watch out steel world, this 12 year old is gonna knock your socks off!! God Bless each of you, and I can't wait to hear Jonathon on the new guitar!!

| My wife Faye and myself were at the great event, and i dont know who was more excited, Jonathan or my wife and i. I didnt fall asleep until after 2.30 thinking about Jonathan and his new steel. We all enjoyed David and Jonathan jaming and i dont know who outdid the other. I want to thank everyone who was responsible for this to happen. Especially MSA,Reece and all the folks at the factory. David told me that Johnny Cox put the guitar together, and Jonathan says it plays great. It even sounds good on the little Fender amp he is using. Thanks Big Jim for the Goodrich pedal and David for the efects unit and for hand delivering it all the way to Gods country, YUMA AZ. I hope you had a great time here. We enjoyed having you here. GOD BLESS |
