MSA Classic Help

Post by Randy Sims »

I would greatly appreciate any input and help about an MSA Classic Double Neck. The Serial Number: 2C839
My understanding is it's a 1972 Classic # 839 in Production. It has 9 Floor Pedals & 8 Knee Levers. Double Raise and Double Lowers. Could anyone tell me anything about this guitar. Any history, mechanics, build, Copendents, etc. (I realize that individuals set Copendents to their specic preferences) Just wondering what an average or normal Copendent would be. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated.

Stellar guitars, a bit on the heavy side but smooth playing, easy to work on and they sound glorious. Old enough that parts aren't readily available so don't lose any bits and pieces. Standard copedant options are pretty much the same as any other D10 within the limits of two raises and two lowers per string.

I have an old MSA manual in pdf with the copedent charts in it- if you would like a copy PM me your actual email I'll send it (I apparently can't attach it to a pm)
