Also known as "MSA Super Sustain II XL 12" $1350 plus shipping...
According to Reece:
"Serial number 1C6865 shows to be a Universal single 12 which was originally shipped to my dear friend Ralph Hanzel in West Allis Wisconsin.
The specific date of completion was not entered into MSA records, however I believe your guitar was completed in late 1982."
This guitar is beautiful. No nicks or dings I can find in the beautiful maple body with burst lacquer finish. It was just gone over, lubed and adjusted, new strings and a Vertical Knee Lever ($155 from Michael Yahl)professionally added by Bill Rudolph at Williams Guitar Company and given a clean bill of health. I also purchased a 1/2 feel stop from Michael but did not install it as Bill set up the guitar to work without it.. but will throw it in ($55) I will also include various parts (xtra pull rod, spacers, pull rod nuts, barrels, etc)
It also comes with the upgraded "G&G like" case instead of the cheap plastic case. I will also include the MSA volume pedal and a brand new D2F cover that fits like a glove.
This guitar stays in tune, plays beautifully (when someone else plays it :) and sounds great!
As much as I want to play pedal steel.. I have realized I cannot chew gum and walk at the same time and am going to concentrate on the new D-8 console steel that Bill is making for me!
Thanks for looking!

I took a little too long thinking about this. About 5 minutes! Far too good a deal to last.
Ken, you lucky so-and -so, hope you enjoy it to the max.

If the current deal doesn't work out or the buyer decides to sell I want this guitar please. I've been looking for one of this vintage for sometime now.

Are you sure you have the right post? This one is going to Ken in Texas as soon as funds clear. I do not believe you and I have ever spoken.
