I need to figger out how to clone myself, so I can be in the main hall and the MSA room at the same time. Like the dog that got his tail in the buzzsaw, "It won't be long now".

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, a restored MSA Classic SS, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Also a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored Rose S10, named the "Blue Bird". Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also have a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks, and a showroom condition Sho-Bud Super Pro.
L@@ks like a great line up in the room this year!!! If ever you wanted to test drive a new MSA, this will be the time to do it, Look forward to seeing you`all there, Darvin, if you figure out the clone thing let me know, that way I won't miss the ball room either!!!!
Red, If the vendor room is where I think it is, and with ole Darvin's long leg's, he just might be able to stand with one foot in each room.
Needless to say, were gonna have a whopping good time for sure. Only two weeks away.
Lookin' forward to it, guys. As some of you know, I recently purchased Tommy White's black D-10 Millenium (9+8) and have been enjoying it tremendously. I'm still trying to decide which pickups I like best for which neck, but it sure is a luxury to be able to swap them out and try another while you still remember what the last one sounded like! (Besides, I'm dangerous with a soldering iron in my hand!)
Steve, I took it that Jim doesn't have to use a soldering iron to change pickups on his Millennium. I'm anxious to hear how he sounds on that new guitar in Phoenix, I'll bet he'll sound like Jim.

Yep, that's pretty serious ain't it Fred. But I think it's a serious DISEASE.
I think it's GAS. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)

Sorry Mike, I guess I'll just endure a little pain.
