Have this MSA Sidekick I've been repairing in my spare time. It's an odd one. Whoever previously owned it routed out a cavity near the changer, and put in a 10 string all pull (3 up 3 down) changer. I'm not sure where this changer originally came from, but it works well. The person had to do some hack job to get it working (including wood screws in metal to hold a return plate  ). I've fixed much of what was done to it, in that it now functions perfectly fine mechanically. There has been an additional pedal and 3 knee levers added. As of right now I have it setup with my own universal copedent, but its capable of quite a few pulls. I believe its possible to do splits on it but I haven't tried or looked into it. There is a crack in the plastic veneer thing this model has built outside of the inner wood. This crack is cosmetic, though it may look problematic, it has no effect on the playability or longevity of the instrument. I've had fun working on it getting it to this poin, and have had fun playing it as well.
One pedal is missing its ball stud right now because it snapped, replacement is on the way.
These pictures were taken on my iphone so I believe they are too large to send here so I have a link to a google drive with the images below.
Includes original plastic hardcase as well.
Asking 700$ obo buyer pays shipping.
