MSA Universal E9/B6 - Needs Some Attention

Postby hboon » Sun Nov 19, 2017 5:38 pm

Hi there

I have an MSA Universal for sale. It's from the 80s and has had a good history. I purchased it quite a while ago with the intention of doing it up but have never really been able to get around to it. One of the knee levers has come off and I think it needs a bit of retooling. Otherwise everything works fine. It comes in its own flight case that has clearly been on the road and perhaps needs a new one.

Priced to go due to need to do some servicing: £850
My location is SE9 in the Sidcup/Eltham area.
Pickup only please.

Do you fancy a trade for a real nice ZB CUSTOM S10?

Dear Jimmy

thank you for the offer of a trade.
I have rationalise the stuff I have.
I would love to continue with the Steel but I find that I have so little time to devote. I play a bit of lap and dobro and whilst not the same, it is the best I'll be able to do for a while. I have a few too many Laps as well! Once you get bitten it's difficult to pull back!!

Regards

For some reason I can't see the pictures.

Anyone else having that problem?

I would guess the picture file size has been too large!

Not too large, they haven't been uploaded here at all. They're on Google Drive, which no longer lets you use them as an image hosting service so this kind of image URL no longer works. FYI the images are at: -

The pictures were available on the Gumtree advert for that guitar, but it should be heading this way later today to get the repairs done....

Hi everyone

thank you for your interest in this item.
John is now the proud purchaser and soon to be possessor of this steel
It is lovely steel but beyond my repair skills.
It was owned by a very highly rated British steel player mentioned in Winnie's book!

Regards
