My buddy recently purchased a MSA Classic. My guess its from the late 70’s or early 80’s. I’m extremely upset for him being who sold him the guitar really took advantage of him. The guitar is in need of a major over haul. We are looking for someone out there who can move his LL and LR knees closer into the body and work on other issues.
Please let me know if anyone is willing to take on this project. The guitar is in the panhandle of Florida near Mobile Al.

Left moving levers are a snap to move on the older MSA's- just loosen the 6-32 allen head screw that holds the knee lever base on the cross shaft and push it forward if that's what he wants. Right moving levers use a reversing mechanism that employs a shoulder bolt to fasten it and the reversing mechanism to the rear rail of the guitar and the position is relatively fixed.

Check out this link, not exactly the guitar in question, but close enough to give you some ideas on what kind of adjustments you can make on your own. I'm know expert and I have made quite a few adjustments without much trouble.

Frank, you are 3,000 miles from Jim's shop. It's too far for you to drive there but if you ship the guitar to him, it will be PERFECT when you get it back.
