I don't know the seller, can't vouch for'em & have never seen the item.
I just came across this on ebay & thought I would share. Perhaps some forum brother is in need of one.
It's pretty slick looking and no one has bid on it since you can only find it if you type in D12 MSA or a few other oddball things.

It looks pretty sharp...I don't know how much it's worth.

| This is the early style MSA with the totally different changer and mechanics than the Bud Carter style MSA that most like. |

I see! I know nothing aobut MSA's. It does look pretty nice though. Perhaps someone on here will want it.
If I had the money & played 12 sting I might be interested.

The endplate looks like it could be a push pull. I've never heard of MSA making a push pull. Reece, care to weigh in here?

You beat me to it, Chris. I was going to ask Casey if he ever lifted an MSA before. |

Listed on Ebay under, "Guitar-> Parts, Accessories-> Effects Pedals-> Other" - you go shopping for a fuzz box, and some darn pedal steel guitar shows up instead. (  ) (!) |

No Mike, not hardly!  This looks to be one of the late "pre-Micro" MSA's (about 1970). It has nowhere near the precision design of the "Micro" models, but could be made to play decent, I suppose. Probably worth the minimum bid for parts alone, and then there's those pickups!  |

I may be wrong...but this seems to be a 67 or
68 or maybe a 69 MSA. I had a new 70 D-12 my first new steel. It is a Bud Carter product I think.

I can tell ya this though, several years back I purchased a White D12 MSA . It was a fine Steel..played great, sounded fine...
except..
I had to hire a moving company to get it up the stairs to my Music Room and then again to get it back down when I sold it..
Look up HEAVY in the dictionary..you'll see a picture of the White D12 MSA I had...
It was a great Instrument all in all though...

| If you could see a pic of the underside of that guitar you would really see the difference in the next version of MSA instruments. |

Methinks that may be my old D12,pickups were made be me, and wound by Chas. Reese of CLR Guitars. "IF" it is , it is a very stable guitar stayed in tune very good, drawbacks...heeeeavy, built like a tank, also has the blade crossbars, instead of crossrods/bellcranks. The changer on these guitars were a positive stop[inside the changer]real agrovating to change setup on the top neck. I think it was on the forum a while back..I purchased in 1971[new]
Found this in some old files.[circa 2001]

Jr.Knight hit it pretty close. I bought my first MSA D12 in 1968 and that looks like the model.
I was teaching in California and went to Dallas and picked it up. That's when I first met Reece Anderson.
He treated my wife, Lorraine and I, as a guest in a plush private club where he was playing with his band. Reece was just a great human being. We became good friends.
They were all great and Reece just astounded me with his modern playing, which style I favored .
It did have the crossbars with the"F"clips to hold the pull rod,they were removeable just like todays Bellcranks. I liked that part of it.
The action on E9 could be setup so quick that I had the A and B pedals set so I just touched them and they activated. Very fast.I decided I liked a longer pull though and changed the A pedals to do that.
It was a double raise and lower, and the tuning stops were all inside the holes in the changer end, nothing sticking out.It stayed in tune very well.
I had 10 pedals and 7 knee levers on it, and as mentioned HEAVEY. I thought it looked pretty slick and modern in those days...al
