They have got a great show lined up and not only will they be a cooken on the main stage, we'll have an All*Star line up jamming in the MSA Demo Room as well.

All weekend long you'll hear first class players like, JAY DEE MANESS * RUSS HICKS * DAVID WRIGHT * JIM COHEN * JONATHAN CANDLER * FRED JUSTICE, all doing thier best to keep you entertained. Who knows who might pop in to just jam a little. :eek:

David and I will have MSA guitars on display for you to look over and kick the tires on. And yes, we'll have order forms on hand as well. :D

Make plans if you can to attend this show, its a goodern!!!! See you there. 8)

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".

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!)

I'll seize ya in Fee-Nicks!

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. :D

Jest goofin'-anyone who drives a Morris has got to have a certain level of mechanical aptitude. And you're right, Darvin-he does still 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)

Darvin there's only one cure. You have to quit cold turkey, and you have to give away at least half your stuff.

I sincerely want to help, so I'll take the legend, and a couple of amps off your hands. Trust me, you'll feel relieved without them. :twisted:

My Millennium with the wrist lever will also be on display, in case anybody wishes to try it out.

As far as I know, this is the only Milly with a wrist lever that MSA has built.
