I could use the pedals, cross shafts, bell cranks, pedal rods and pull rods if you chose to split the package.

If there are any knee levers and associated hardware left over after all the transactions, I'd be interested.

That's a great start on building a single neck with very little money.

Thomas you can build endplates out of 3 or more pieces of angle aluminum and it will work. You just need to find exactly where the stop plate goes. MSA's had a rod rack under the changer that can easily be built from aluminum. When you build your own body you can make it to suit your endplates. The guitar I am playing is just 3 pieces bolted together to make the endplate. This guitar sounds wonderful. No tonal loss. Sounds better than some of my other factory steels.

put the guitar back together,and sell it.then buy a single neck guitar,if that is your reason for stripping the c6 neck.a lot easier and cheaper than building a nother guitar.

Being an old MSA I don't think he can get any more out of it being a double neck and as heavy as they were most would probably rather have a single neck MSA. They were great guitars and the only thing that hurts their value today is the sheer weight of them. I personally think he could double his money with just a couple of hundred dollars spent and some time. If not just sell the parts alone as he is here.

Willie the MSA SS is a whole different animal than the one in this post. It was physically smaller than an Emmons push pull which is smaller than all pulls.Smaller than your LeGrande if you measure them. It was also lighter than MSA Classics. When Bud Carter built the SS model his goal was to design the smallest 10 string 3 raise/3 lower that could be built. I had one, had a LeGrande lll and Push Pull all at the same time so I got the measurements and weights and the SS's are half the weight as an old MSA classic.
