Not trying to Hi-Jack this thread, but I wanted to express to James my sympathy to him for the tragedy
that hit his son. James is so very talented, humble, and helpful to others. Harry

Total of four sections. Three necks and 1 spacer. The spacer between neck one and two is the same as the Dual Pro with the selector switch, volume and tone control, and 1/4 inch output. Neck 2 and 3 does not have a spacer. Sections are bolted same as Dual Pro.

The dual pro trapezoid I once owned was in three sections held together by two bolts located under the "diamonds". The sections became loose and I took the diamonds off and tightened the nuts.

Take a piece of wire and touch one end to the jack cover or the case of one of the pots and touch the other end to the bridge and see if that stops the
hum. If it does, then you now what you have to do.

Typo. Tuning should read "CEACEG" {Lo to Hi}.

James Kerr has some hauntingly beautiful renditions on youtube in ECACEG (LO to Hi). He is a masterful player, and builds most of the lap steels in the videos. Check out all his videos. His rendition of "The Tennessee Waltz" in this tuning is the most beautiful I have ever heard. Harry

The Seymore Duncan Antiquity pickups that are wound like the Fender Champion give a great vintage sound and aren't all that expensive.

I had to refinish this when I got it. Someone had done a terrible partial sanding and quit on it. Both pickups are strong. I had one rewound a year or so ago. If you are looking for a player and not a collector, this one is in great shape. Both tuner pans are in good condition. I don't have a case f...

Looks as though the nut has a radius on the bass side judging the way the bar is resting on it??

I don't know about super glue, but I had good luck once using contact cement(the kind you apply on formica). It is available in small bottles. You need to apply it to both the flake and guitar body and let dry for a few minutes before making contact. You will not be able to move the flake after cont...

Jim if you would be interested in this Dual Pro, I live just down the road from you in Waynesboro. You would be welcome to come down and try it out. It has been refinished and I had one pickup rewound about six months ago. Tuners in good shape. If you want it and pick it up, I will take $975.00. I w...
