I have a burgundy lacquer MSA "The Universal", early 80's in pristine condition. It's 7 pedals, 5 knees and has the Newman E9/B6 set up. Triple raise, triple lower. It's got one of the hot upgraded pick ups in it, although I'm not sure exactly which. Al Brisco would know - he recently set this guitar up and sold it to me. It's a beauty. It looks just like the the one on Maurice Anderson's "Steel with Brass" LP cover.
Anyway, I'm happy with the guitar. It plays very smooth and sounds great. However, I'm considering returning to a 10-string situation, where I'm only 5 years in on steel. I wanted to gauge interest in a possible trade for a Sho-Bud S-10 Green/Maness signature....has anybody heard of this guitar, or has one they may want to trade? I'm also open to discuss an Emmons all-pull trade as well. There is a little room for cash on my part, but a straight trade would be preferable. My only wish is that the guitars up for potential trade are free of mechanical issues. I live in a Canadian province that's very far from any pedal steel technicians.
I can send photos of the MSA - just email me.
Thanks,
Chris [This message was edited by Chris LeDrew on 31 July 2005 at 12:36 PM.]
