Well, guys, I have my beautiful Wood Lacquer "The Universal" Model MSA S12 for sale.
Mint, Excellent cosmetic and Mechanical condition.
Has 8 foot pedals and 5 knee levers including the L vertical.
It is just like new, easy playing and has a great sound. A beautiful Guitar. Pictures available, by Email.
Triple Raise and Lower, Super-Sustain II Pickup in the aluminum pocket.
I know it is hard to believe, but I can make this guitar sound like a PP Emmons or a Sho-Bud Professional, just by tweaking the tone controls on the Amp. It helps to have my Photo-Cell Volume pedal.
Weighs 39lbs out of the case all setup and 55lbs in the case.
The knee levers are one inch longer than usual on most guitars with easy leverage.
I will include 1 inch extenders. Which I took off.
Extra pull rods, bell cranks, etc.
These MSA's are usually underpriced and so is mine at $1850. I see some S10's with 3 pedals selling for more than that.Email or phone 616-696-4474.
If you are interested in a S12, this is a good one and a good buy........al 
(Edited to show new lower price. Only $1750.)

John- Thanks for the boost, buddy.. Yes , I did sell my MSA last year, and I missed it so much and regretted selling it that I was lucky enough to buy it back.! The guy quit playing and took a job in South America .
But another year has gone by and I have not played it out in about 10 months.So might as well let some younger player have a beautiful S12 and get some use out of it.....al

| This is one great looking guitar. They play and sound great too. This would be a good deal for some one that wants to try the U12 tuning. |

Hello Al,
This may be just the one I need to complete my collection. I've been interested in learning the universal tuning. I'd have to get rid on my ZB though. The wife has really layed down the law and is enforcing the one in one out rule at gunpoint.

| Al, I really enjoyed looking at your website. I'm the other person with an MSA Universal 12 8&5 for sale on this page. I'm asking more money for essentially the same guitar, except that mine is not as pretty as yours. Oh well. Good luck Brother. |

Hedley-Your guitar is not overpriced. For the high quality of these MSA guitars, they are both underpriced on the market.
I really don't know why. Bud Carter's name is on both of them......al

Hello Bob,
I already have a fantastically beautiful teal and coffee colored Speedy West D-10 in my living room. Since I got that one, the Fessenden D-10 and the ZB SD-10 have sort of gone in the closet. I was looking at selling the ZB, and seeing how I liked the U-12. I have kinda liked the feel of the MSA since I played one at Billy and Wanda Cooper's place last year.

Al, I can see what a great guitar this is, should be someplace making music.
I can also see why you needed the shorter pedal rods, that is a strange looking , very low seat you have there in the back ground.Bumperooski for Al !

Hi Bud-Thanks for the bump. I never used that chair for playing, it was just in the picture .ha.I guess, yes, I imagine it would be too low. Funny thing though, most of the jobs I played, I used the chair available. I never even used a pak a set.But sometimes they were not too comfortable.
I did not put shorter rods on the MSA, I just took off the 1 inch extenders. I still have them so anyone can put them back on if
he so desire. So one way or another this will fit anyone. It is a beauty.See you in Trufant .....al

Hey Al,
It still looks good. I'm trying to work out something with my ZB so I might have the cash for it. It could keep my Marlen company.

Duncan-Good luck with your ZB. I had a D10 ZB years ago and it was a beautiful guitar and had a great sound.
But very heavy for me to haul around. So I sold it.
But wish I could afford to keep all the great guitars that I had, including the first Original Gibson Electra-harp with the cabinet all the way to the floor.
No case, just a heavy canvas like cover that covered it completely....Oh Well, it's all history now.......al
