| Go to MSA web site and send them an E-mail. They have all the old classic records. David Wright and Kyle Bennett have been great at finding Classic Serial Numbers. |

| A rough guess would be around August of '76, but the MSA guys should be able to give you an exact date. |

| I own two MSA Classics. First is a double 10, number 2C5116.. The other is a SD, number 2C379. Looking for the year, they were built. Also would lack a source for parts to add right knee right lever. |

| Thanks, David. Have a great weekend. By the way, I love my MSA. The double neck I own since 1982 and I acquired the SD about a year ago. Thanks for your help. |

| Thank you so much! I suspected it was in that range just didn’t know exactly where. The two guitars look very similar on the undercarriage. Very nice mechanics and stays in tune. Great instrument |
