What's the difference between the MSA Lfrets and Aura lights ?

Post by Paul Mageau »

Hi

Can someone tell me the difference ? When I look on the MSA site they say that Aura lights requires Lfrets and Aura lights costs $195. Whare are the Lfrets and what do they cost ? I've seen people on the forum use either LFrets or Aura lights to describe their lighted MSA fretboard, hence my confusion.

Are the Lfrets the glass panel that has the fretboard printing on it and the Aura lights are the LED's, battery and charger to backlight the Lfrets ?

Thanks,
Paul

LFrets light up the fret board. The aura lights light up the underside of the guitar. They are both run off of a rechargeable battery pack that is mounted underneath the guitar.

Here's some pics showing the battery pack, Aura LED lights below the guitar and the lighted fretboard. It is the most spectacular display and the fretboard is very crisply lit with no light bloom effects. Every fret is clearly defined.

Ooooohhhhh :) I get it now. Makes total sense finally :)

Greg, do you know how much the Lfrets option costs ? I see aura lights are $195 but I haven't found an LFRETs price
