It was built in 2013. It is set up for all 12 strings. I have 10 on there just because I was rarely using the bottom ones. They are are rich sounding, and make for beautiful deep chords, and extending your runs.. How old is this guitar? I see only 10 strings on there.....Are the pedals and levers se...

Hi Al! AA Bondy is so great... That was an old student MSA I played on back then... I had just started, I didn't even know what I was doing!!! Why did they let a drummer try to play pedal steel...?

S12 Williams, possibly in UK or EU

A beautiful Williams S12. I’m only selling it to save money for a D10. Changing copedents on Williams are about as easy as it gets! Nice playing, smooth feeling pedals and levers. I’m currently touring Europe and UK, with the tour ending in London on the Oct 4. So, if you are located here, shipp...

B pedal goes flat when I engage C pedal

I have a '73 LDG, and recently the B pedal goes flat when I engage B and C together. It does not go flat when I press B pedal first, then C... Looking under the guitar I cannot figure out why B will not pull all the way, as no mechanics seem to be in the way. I do raise string 8 a whole tone on C pe...
