I've read where the man that made the MSA also made the Carter. All things being equal,( playing through the same amp, same settings, Does the Carter have that MSA sound, or does it sound more like an Emmons, Zum, etc?

The Carter has it's own thing. If you've played an MSA, they also have their own, different thing. There are a lot of variations depending on pickups as well- for example, my Carter D-10 improved tremendously (to my ears) with TrueTone pickups. It doesn't sound exactly like other brands of steels that I've played, and THEY all sound and feel a little different.
The optimal thing is to play one and judge for yourself. |

In between MSA and Carter, Bud Carter also worked at MCI. All great guitars and all different sounding. ![](http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif) |
