The MS Delta Project

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

This is MS Delta, my vision and creation. Several events and thoughts in my life have inspired me to start this project as of 3 years ago. She is named after the Mississippi Delta, the birthplace of the blues and the roots of American music. She has the autographs (which I personally obtain) of the best guitarists in the world, from blues to jazz to classic rock and heavy metal; a melting pot if you will. I carefully select each guitarist based on skill, popularity, longevity, and contribution to music. From shredders to bluesmen, she will one day be the definitive representation of the masters, maestros, and legends. Her history spans genres, continents, and seven decades of the best recorded guitar. Much effort and time have been put into this project, and success is not always guaranteed; I have failed many times. However, the ones who do sign her understand that it is my goal to keep the music alive through the past, up to the present and on to the future.Signatures on MS Delta in order of signing are:1.)

This was the same year Robert Johnson cut his first songs as well.- The oldest person to have signed this guitar is Robert Lockwood, Jr., born March 27, 1915 in Turkey Scratch, Arkansas.-The words "Fury" and "Love" are right next to each other.Got it in writing!"I saw a comment you left on Chuck Berry's site, and just loved the story of how your guitar came to be. What an inspiration. I would be honored if you would add me as a friend, so I can keep tabs on how this amazing journey unfolds. You truly are keeping the music alive through both wood and soul!" -Jason"Your Project is so good that Chuck Berry signed it and word has it that he was rather Impressed by your efforts, he usually wouldn't do that, and there are those in St Louis that have been turned down by him after that when asking for Guitars to be signed by him." -Martin"This project is so great, and it's great you have put it to MySpace, so many people around the world will know about it. To have guitar signatures from Chuck Berry and B.B. King is very special." -Johan"I think you may be putting together one of 'the' ultimate signed guitars going. Museums may contact you someday :-). Wow, I am really blown away by the new additions. Lindsey Buckingham, Elvin Bishop, Jeff Beck, and Mark Knopfler are super adds (and of course Joan Jett is good to have because she was and is 'hot')." -Tunefan
