horshoe pickup

I have the Tricone in the picture. The case was obtained from Elderly Instruments. The case doesn't show a brand name, but it fits like a glove.

Thank you Kay. An extremely beautiful song played extremely well.

The four on a plate tuners fit perfectly' The bridge, casted as part of the body, now holds a taller metal bridge proper height. I had hoped to find a proper horse shoe pickup, but ...

PS Yes my father was left handed.

To make a short story long, my father was in route home from Korea after the Korean war. The ship stopped in Japan to take on fuel, during which the troops had shore leave. Both my father and a buddy purchased a steel guitar. During the second leg of the journey, his buddy got into a game of chance,...

Fender use to make a nice Tone/Volume pedal. Volume=Up Down, and Tone=side to side.

A most excellent restoration.
