Good luck in Your search,A superb piece of equipment.

Davie, remember DONT show Zumbilly the secret handshake you need to be a member of Tupperware Players Club, he plays one of those old fashioned wood things. :o By the way, couldn't possibly be "The Gamble" who has it, much too modern for him, he wouldn't even know how to switch it on let alone get the setting right. ;) :lol:

One question Mr McMaster. Why did Mr MSA, Maurice Anderson, choose to play a wood bodied MSA when he had a choice of any guitar from the range? Answer - he knew which ones sounded best. :lol:

That would be because he , as any good marketer would do, was promoting the current model being produced by the factory, if the crazy price of the carbon fibre for the bodies had not stopped production of the Millys then he would quite likely have continued to play one if it had been current production model.As I understand it the company producing the raw carbon body wanted MSA to order at least two hundred, totally unrealistic! at the massive price they wanted. :guitar:

Uh uh. Reece actually played his old green bodied MSA guitar on live gigs much of the time. I saw him play at Johnny High's theatre quite a few times, and he had that old 70's green guitar on most of the gigs I saw. That wasn't a current production model. :) :)
