Can any other Millenium owners comment on your experience with your new Millenium.

I can not believe the longevity of the strings and staying in tune. I have 150 hours on my new Millennium guitar and have not broken a string or feel a need to replace the strings. It sounds better than my older MSA's with new strings. All other aspects still exceed my original expectations.
Thanks Reece and Kyle for a great guitar!!

Richard and to whom ever: I, too, have been blessed with, what I consider, to be one of the finest instruments manufactured. I have a couple hundred hours on this horn, broken 2, that's two, thirds, and am amazed at how well the axe stays in tune; this through several environments through the week. Playing 3 and 4 nights weekly, in as many different climates, should reek havoc on an instrument's tuning, but not so with this one. My Millennium is equipped with one of Jerry Wallace's TruTone pickups, (the original E-66 hasn't been out of the bag since I installed the TruTone) and it has "tone" to die for. IMO it's a super instrument, made by super people.

Well I can't respond as a Millenium owner yet but I did get to check them out and play one in Dallas in March. I reached the conclusion within minutes that this was the finest guitar I had ever had the pleasure to sit behind.

I tried out several guitars about 4 years ago and they all had some good points but none of them felt like everything was "just right."

The Millenium felt better than I could ever ask for and the tone was out of this world!! Lucky for me it was running through the same kind of amp I use so it was a great comparison to what I'm used to. Being able to try different pickups in the guitar showed me how much a pickup can change the tone of a guitar, a very important feature.

Speaking of features, this guitar is loaded with them as you owners already know. The Millenium team really went out of their way to address the problems associated with all steel guitars.

The best way I know how to describe my experience of playing the Millenium is like getting out of a 1960 model automobile (your choice) and getting into a 2003 model of the same automobile, a drastic difference to say the least.

It's great that MSA is taking this instrument into the future and setting new standards for others to work toward!!

Great work guys!!!!
