Mr Bing.....How do you think this stuff up......Malcolm ...You better think of something quick....We are getting blown away on this deal.........That post was way below the belt........I think Ken needs the bin , more that we do......Why does anyone keep 12 guitars , if he thinks a show pro is the best ?....At least I keep buying the same make... Maybe he's not, as convinced as he lets on......The bottom line is there is no bad guitars being made to-day ....Still If you have a good pair of hands and a musical brain, like he has, ......Then you can make any guitar sound good........He did a superb job with his Carter on the Dallas stage last March....Worse still he hadn't even seen the guitar till he got there........Apart from that Malcolm .... We need a counter attack , for that picture ....or we are going to have to bin this post...

Ivor, what goes around comes around, just wait our day will come .Old Byng will come to his senses one of these days and buy a real steel MSA .

Malcolm...You are right.......Our day is just around the corner.....He will change his tune shortly....He sings that well, I have now started spelling his name, the same as Bing Crosby........I think there's a very good chance, he will off load some of his many guitars. to help pay for a new MSA at Dallas....Anybody out there looking for a very clean used guitar with little mileage on it........Call Ken.......Guitars going at super low prices ....He knows real quality when he sees it....I better call Kyle and let him know to make two specials for the Dallas show

Buy an MSA at Dallas??? I couldn't even if I wanted to (and I don't). I have to bring back a Giles body for my Zum that I bought from Billy Murdoch, plus a Jimmie Hudson pedal resonator. I would consider a s/h Millennium for gigs where I need a real lightweight guitar, but there is no way that I would pay full whack for a new MSA. They just don't hold their value too well compared to most as you have unfortunately found out. I don't think also that the MSA tone suits me too well. If you have money burning a hole in your pocket Ivor, why don't you get a tone machine like a Show Pro or a Rittenberry? Jeff Surratt and Gary Rittenberry both know the elements that make a great sounding guitar. If you just want to sit in a chair and admire the mechanical attributes of a steel guitar you could close your eyes and imagine that your MSA is an Infinity.

I have told Ivor several times but he doesn't take heed. There is a telescope on the roof of the Sheraton Hotel in Dallas, so that the folks at MSA can see him coming!!!

The only thing that I will concede is that the new MSA wheeled case has one advantage over all others. Leave the MSA guitar outside the house in that case, and waste technicians would remove it and dispose of the guitar in the most appropriate manner. Years ago, I left my Sho~Bud inadvertently overnight in its road case on my driveway and it was still there in the morning. I rest my case(s).

If it had been a good one like MSA it would have been long gone.

Nah - Sho~Bud was way too good to end its days in a land fill site. Whereas that is a fitting resting place for an MSA.

Just proves the local thieves know when something isn't worth taking , just leave it in drive.Mr Gamble had his car stolen a few years ago and his Emmons was in boot, thieves kept car and threw his steel in local skip (true story)

[Ken Byng]

My Sho~Bud was once nicked out of my car along with a Telecaster, Twin Reverb and all the accessories.

I got it all back plus the name of the lowlife scrote who stole it and did a runner out of town. I have something for him when I catch up with him.
