Thanks Ken, coming from yourself is a compliment indeed.

The only one I've got Ken, if I was going to add another I'd fancy a 12 string Emmons, single neck on an Ext E9 tuning. However, my studio is packed to the gunnels so not sure where I could fit it in, if I could even find one! However, I'm really happy with the MSA, it does everything I need to do and with the hot swap pickup facility getting a variety of tones out of it is possible.

You mean on behalf of just about everyone on the forum :D

I used the Tonealigner pickup which was wound by Bob Hoffnar, I believe Telonics also does a version of it. Not totally sure but I think Calum has the Telonics version. Bob's version is really good though, he custom wound it for MSA who put the cradle on it. I love it, it gets a really clear balanced tone once you tune it in. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to be making them at the moment.

Anyway, hope you are keeping well, Janice and I still appreciate the guidance and friendship you gave to us in Dallas, which remains one of my fondest memories :guitar:

Edit - Forgot to credit Malcolm for giving me the steer to the Tonealigner by Bob, he also recommended the MSA Legend. Very glad I took his advice..
