MSA???? on ebay

Post by Brian Henry »

Take a look at this. It has an MSA label but I doubt its authenticity.

Looks like a genuine MSA LOGO to me. Image

The rest of the guitar is suspect at best.

Looks to me just like another bright red steel that was for sale some time ago, except it had pedals, and it certainly wasn't an MSA.

The "Nut" looks like Fender and the "Tailpiece is similar to an early "Gibson"
