Hey MSA fans. I wanted to say that I really like The L-fret option on MSA’s guitars. Way cool especially useful in dark venues.
Does anyone know if they have made these Lighted fretboards to retrofit on other guitars. Or if they could special make some for other brands.
Also does anyone have an up close picture of an L fretboard that they can send |

Lighted fretboards, to fit other brands, is NOT their prime business.

If you go to the top of this page to SEARCH, Type in "Lighted Frets". It will go to a post about lighted frets. There is a picture of Dick Wood's MSA with lighted frets. I have seen something about MSA lights have some sort of rechargeable battery pack for power.
When I built a steel about 1970. I made plexiglass fret boards and thought about putting lights under the frets. At the time only filament bulbs was available, They ate batteries. With the LED lights available now it would be possible.
At a Christmas party, In a joke gift exchange, I got a commode light, That has possibilities for a light under a guitar. BJ |

This is not a close up but shows the fretboard in a dark room.
I could take a picture of the fretboard if you want.
The fretboard looks standard with knight chess pieces.
What are you looking for in a picture of the fretboard?

Hey that's MY guitar the "Jolly Rancher" ... MSA, does not make lighted fretboards for other brands of Steels ... this is actually a pretty sophisticated system and more involved than one might think. There is a rechargeable battery pack tucked neatly in the rear left corner under the guitar. It runs both the lighted fretboard and aura lights.
