We will no longer be selling the guitar for now, so this thread can be closed. Thanks for the interest.

Guitar has been sold. This thread can be closed. Thanks.

I found this guitar in the basement of my father's house while cleaning for an estate sale. I remember him playing it back in the 1960s when he had it made by Bobbe Seymour. He long ago replaced it with other guitars. Unlike his other guitars, it was stored in the basement and has accumulated rust a...

Guitar is sold. Please close thread. Thanks everyone.

And another picture showing all the BosSan parts laid out on a table before we bundled them into groups in a box. The guitar seems to only need the two cross bars pictured above, but there were a lot of extra parts he had on hand. Other more detailed pictures available. They may not all be "Bos...

Guitar is sold. Please close thread. Thanks all.

Thanks Daniel for posting a summary and being so helpful when you visited. Here are some pictures of the guitar and parts that may help show what's going on. You can see where the crossbars need to go in to hold the pedal rods. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2203/22218_image2_1.jpg https://b...

Thanks. Serial number is 2C839. Also posted in the description now.

3/15/23. Since the guitar did not sell, it has been shipped to one of my brothers in California along with all the extra parts. He is an accomplished guitar player and machinist and wants to study it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This is one of three guitars I'm posting from my father's...

Sorry, I cannot find the serial number and am having trouble getting up under the guitar and cannot flip it over. The wide underside picture was taking by someone else. If I can get someone here to find it I'll post.

Just a note to say I have a sale pending on this one. We are working on pick-up and transportation details. I will change to SOLD and close the thread when it's finalized.

This is one of three guitars I'm posting from my father's estate. Located in Chesterfield, Virginia, just outside of Richmond. Belonged to Harold Near. The asking price is $2000 or best offer. Purchased in 1991 from Don Fulmer. 8 pedals. Two rows of levers; 9 in the front, 4 in the back. Played at h...

I am settling my father's estate, Harold Near, and this is the first of his guitars I am posting. Located in Chesterfield, Virginia, just outside of Richmond. The asking price is $1600. I am aware it could be more, but I have seen comparables at this price, too. 9 pedals, 7 knee levers. I'm not an e...

This is a very late reply to an old topic, but I'd like to make a small correction for the record. The Harold "Neer" referred to here is spelled "Near." Harold Near was my father and passed away on January 12, 2023. Yes, he had Slim Idaho's triple-neck Rickenbacker steel guitar f...

He was 91. Pedal steel guitar was a lifelong passion for Harold, an avid amateur player an...
