Are there choices for the body wood? What would be the additional cost?
What is the pickup plate material?
Thanks
Jim

My playing benefits from clearly visible fret markers.

What is the scale length?

I have seen terrible packing from UPS stores! A heavy irregular item in an oversize box filled with peanuts with no stabilization of the item in the box. Amp in a box filled with peanuts with peanuts that worked into the speaker spyder. Large amp in a cobbled together mess of cardboard fragments wit...

Fender did produce 26 inch scale multi neck eight string steel guitars. I don't know that I've ever seen a single neck 26 inch scale Fender console steel. Makes me wonder if your guitar was made by disassembling a multi neck guitar.

I think this is a 1960s guitar, and I've heard the finish referred to as "poly". It doesn't look like nitrocellulose.
Jim

Anyone know of suitable brushable touchup paint for this 1960s guitar?
Thanks.
Jim.

Thanks!

I am thinking about swapping all the original parts from my poorly refinished 24.5 in scale Stringmaster D8 to a 22.5 in scale body (I prefer this scale length). The 24.5 in guitar looks to be late 50's and the 22.5 in body from the 60's. Will this require modification of the target body, or pose ot...

I am looking for a check-able flight case for my Fender Deluxe 8 (S8 Stringmaster style) and legs. The gun cases I have found are excessively big. Hatton does not make flight cases. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I am attending again!

Mikiya, thank you for posting this, I did not know it was happening this year. Will you and Jeremy be focusing on six or eight sting guitars, or?
Jim

Fender Deluxe 8- 1 3/8 in.

I seek suggestions for a clamp-on tuner with clamp big enough for thick bodies.
Thanks
Jim

Thanks Dave- I will email them.

Seems like what I need is pickup from the auction site, some packing and transport to a shipper. Or, if someone is driving from OR to the mid west via I80, I wil...

I have developed some pain, swelling and and reduced mobility of the knuckle (metacarpophalangeal joint) of my bar (pointer) finger. Also, some joint deformity such that the finger points toward the middle finger slightly when flexed... and this angulation seems to help with bar control. I have done...

DW-16 is the model number for the one you seek. Mine is not for sale. This guitar sounds excellent and a lot like a DW-16. It has has a 25 in scale length vs. short on a DW-16, and separate volume and tone controls. It has the tuner covers, four legs and the original case. I think the 25 in length i...

I play short scale so don't use this 25 in scale guitar.
Jim

I think there are significant differences in the SW8 and DW16 guitars depending on date of mfg and other specs. My DW16, an earlier one, has fine volume all the way across.

How does one remove a Fender steel guitar fretboard from a wood body without damaging it?

Thanks
