Hi all! I am looking around for a moderately priced Dual 8 to purchase. Preferred color like in picture, but I will consider brown aswell.

I was told it was a 1953-54...had no reason to doubt it up to this day...could you provide more infos as to why it should be newer?

Hello all, I have not posted here much, but have been lurking around for some time :wink: I have a ca. 1955 Fender Stringmaster D8 I am considering parting with, as I want to switch to a Dual 8 Pro.

No interest? Will 70$ do?

Hello, first post for me here, thanks for adding me to your family! I recently sold my 1987 OMI Dobro and it was equipped with a Barcus-Berry pickup that the new owner didn't want. Pickup is tested and in good working order. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/15537_20150919_114542_1.jpg I am...
