Robert M.... Thank you for becoming what we consider to be part of the MSA family.

Serial number 2C-6043 shows to be a blue double 10 which left the factory with 8 pedals and 4 knee levers. It's original destination was JuDale Music. The exact date of birth was not entered into record.

Chris....Serial number 1C-6646 shows to be a burgandy single 12 which was originally shipped to Armstrong Harmony Ranch Music located in Canada. Bruce Armstrong was a highly regarded dealer and a great friend.

The exact date of birth was not entered into record. Thank you for playing MSA and for providing me the opportunity to be of assistance to you.

Here's my "best guesses"...

2C6043...Jan. '79

1C6646...Late '83 (probably one of the last few made)

Thanks a lot, Reece......it's very nice of you to take the time to look that up for me. The guitar, I guess, has remained in Canada since it was sent here 25 years ago. It won't be moving from my hands....I really love it.

Donnie, I think you're really close. The dealer told me it was a 1980 or '81. But you could be right. It's in awesome condition. I just got back from a gig with it, actually, and it was behaving perfectly.
It's my first MSA, but already I feel like I'll always play this brand. There's a feeling about it that's hard to describe. It's just such a neat little machine.
