Has anyone ever seen this MSA model? My suspicions are raised about the quality of this one because of the cheesy tuning keys.

This is a student model. Designed to hold down the
cost of the guitar. |

| I had one just like it, even played a few gigs with it. I thought it was great, untill I bought Paul Normans "Stater". "No compairison" |

| They're pretty common (moreso in black than red). It's a variation on their "Sidekick" model, aimed at the younger (rock?) players back then. The single finger changer design limits it somewhat, and they only came with 1 lever. I suppose you could play one for awhile if the price was right. Probably worth $250-$350, although they often go for a lot more. |

| This one is on Ebay with a Buy It Now price of $699.00 (US). I think I'll pass. |

| Yeah, 7 bills for that is almost laughable, but ebay has no shortage of buyers with plenty credit cards and no smarts. |

| Hello Glen, there is an Ernie Ball pedal steel guitar for sale here on the forum that has 3 pedals and 1 knee lever for around $700 to $800 dollars, this guitar looks to be almost like new, just thought I would mention it if you are looking for a starter guitar. |

| As that model was my first steel guitar, I can speak with authority when I say the best upgrade you can do to it involves a can of lighter fluid and a book of matches! |

| Thanks, Steve, but I already have a professional steel guitar; a Canadian made Linkon D10, and I want to keep it, as it's a nice guitar. I would eventually like to get a good quality, lighter, and more portable S10 that I can keep at the band practice room and do gigs with, and keep that heavy Linkon at home to practice on. |
