Had a whopping 5 minutes of Sun this morning to take some outside pictures of my new, S-10, 5x6 MSA

Yes, I’m pretty sure this is too many pictures

That is one good looking guitar. Only thing wrong with it is that is does not belong to me. J.R.

Wow! Dale, please take that inside before the bridge is washed out and I can't swim, lol.

How is it set up? Telonics p'up?

Thanks gentlemen, I really am pleased with how she turned out... turns my head every time I’m in the same room with her...

MSA did a tremendous job with her and Mark Giles is an absolute Master at cabinet construction and finishing... Very Pleased.

The feedback and interaction I got with both Kyle and Mitchell at MSA through the whole process was without reproach... Best guys I’ve ever worked with.

Here’s an underneath shot or two.

Let's see Dale.

How many of the new MSA's do you have now? hehe

Great looking axe.

Waiting to hear you play

Just putting it out there...when your wife says you have too many guitars, keep me in mind. I will take this one off your hands. Lol. What a beautiful instrument!

Dale, for $5.95 I will send you a receipt showing the price you told your wife you paid.

LEDs??

Dale, this new beauty has an aluminum neck, while your red one has a wood neck. Have you noticed any difference between the 2? And if so, can you describe it?

Dan Robinson · Post by **Dan Robinson** » 13 Apr 2018 6:28 am

Lots of details worthy of mention. The changer appears to have a slot that makes insertion easy, but will capture the end if a string breaks.

The collar behind the comb-style bell crank is a thoughtful way to retain the rod.

Sculpted knee levers are, well they just look comfortable. And the flag is blended in beautifully.

Adjustable pole pieces on the pickup... Telonics?

What color slacks look best when you fire up the Aura lights?

Dale,

That sir is a beautiful guitar! I bet it sounds great with you behind it too!

It’s a beauty, congrats. It’s hard to describe the beauty and depth of these Mark Giles finishes. The guitar ain’t too shabby either. Enjoy it!

Now thatâ€™s funny

Cats already out of the bag.

Just two Bill, but I never ever thought Iâ€™d even have ONE... Really loving what MSA has done

Yes John, those are the Aura lights that give off a romantic glow

I havenâ€™t noticed a difference, but then Iâ€™m using a different pup in this one... my understanding is that the way the wood necks are constructed, makes so whatever difference there is is all but inperseptable.

Alan Bidmade wrote:Is purple the new black???

I think it is... I wanted something a little different... this is actually a combination of Blue and Purple so Blurple ... I wanted it fairly subtle and in the house with low light you have to look twice to see that thereâ€™s color in it

Thanks Andy, hope youâ€™re right... Want to record something with it soon.

Totally agree Steve... Mark does beautiful work... Iâ€™m told those endplates fit perfect when they started putting everything together.
