Now that I know it's Don, (Thanks Smiles), I can understand the fiddler calling his name before the solo.
It looks like a Push Pull guitar, but I've never seen a logo like that.[This message was edited by Joey Ace on 05 March 2006 at 07:32 AM.] |

I guess the end plate just makes it look like a PP.
I shoud have know better, since my first PSG was an MSA S-10 Classic, with similar holes.
Notice the Stevens Style bar.

Don also toured with Hank Jr. about that same timeframe with the the Drifting Cowboys. A player that lived close to me at the time had to have an MSA like that one.Bought one D12, 8+2, paid a lot on it, then decided to get married and sold it to me for $350. Built like a Sherman tank, and almost as heavy. best I remember about 1971.

I used to have an MSA exactly like this one. I bought it from Al Marcus in about 1968. Was my first double neck steel and yes they are heavy, but excellent tone.

The reason I thought of Don Helms was the type of bar he is using.I have never seen anyone but Don, on any of the old shows or vidieos, that uses a dobro bar.
