MSA Pedal Steel 2009 (approximately)
D10 with 9 pedals and 5 knee levers.

I was fortunate to purchase this guitar used in 2023 from my friend Garry Skelton. It features a beautiful maple cabinet with a striking red sunburst finish. The high-polish metal hardware remains in immaculate condition.

The tone closely resembles the classic Emmons sound from the “LeGrande” era—rich, full, and incredibly expressive. The playing action is exceptionally smooth, with minimal play in the pedals. I prefer a highly responsive feel in both the pedals and knee levers, and this guitar delivers that.

My only minor complaint is that the L-frets don’t illuminate as brightly as I’d like. However, I suspect this may be due to a battery issue rather than a fault in the original design.

In 2024, I placed an order for a new MSA D10 in a natural dark finish, and I’m still eagerly awaiting its arrival. MSA has certainly earned my loyalty for life!
