Fred picked up his new MSA Legend this morning and drove on up to my house. We took several pictures and here some of them.
You can look it over at the Branson Show this weekend. The color is Cinnamon Red! Beautiful!!

Fred,
Mighty sharp looking guitar and I already know how well it's going to sound and play!
Seems to be a trend to take pics of guitars outside now and the sunlight sure shows the colors off.

It looks like an old Sho-Bud I had about thirty years ago. Single 10 with just three floors and four knee kicks. Ex wife shamed me into selling in before I ever learned much on it. It had that pretty red finish too. Have got a Mullen D-10 now 8X5, and am slowly getting around on it. Once you've got the steel bug it's very hard to shake it. I knew someday I'd get another steel and I guess good things come to those who wait.....and wait.....and wait.... Fine looking ax Fred. Hope to hear you play it Sunday.

That sure is a nice guitar. I saw Fred playing up in Payson and he explained the set up of his guitar. It kind of went over my head, but I did understand that the extra pulls give him the equivalent of a 12 string universal. All I know is Fred played the heck out of the neck!
