Bud. Thank you for the kind wishes and the Bump!

I dropped the price down to $3900.00 as I really want it sold.

Please somebody help me out!

Hi. Some of you know me from a few years back. I am the owner of a 1953 (6-4-53) Fender four neck stringmaster, long scale. I love this piece of early Fender history but have come to the hard decision to put it up for sale. Because of my other musical persuits it has ended up sitting in a closet and...

Ron My wife and I just wanted to say thanks for a fantastic evening last week at the Marriott. It was great to finally meet you in person and I thank you for taking the time out to come down from the North Shore for a very memorable evening. I hope we can do it again one day. Bobby Ingano I was a pl...

Ron

I love playing it. I am not very good, but I keep plugging away. The date inside the tuning pan cutaway is 6-4-53 but I never found the SN.

Sam

I am in a pretty good position for a comparison. Mine is a 1953. I have more pictures if required.

In my case, I didn’t ask to be a curator. As a matter of fact, I accumulated a couple extra guitars from my band playing days. I gave them to my sons and my collection was reduced down to one electric, one acoustic guitar and one amp. I would have gotten rid of my PA system if somebody in the area o...

Tom I lived in Maryland for over 20 years. I moved to Virginia about 18 months ago. Now on to your question. I just cleaned my late father's Fender Quadmaster. It was in pretty bad shape with a lot of build up of dirt and grime. I used hot soapy water. I dipped a terry cloth into the water with the ...

I want to echo some of what Denny has said about Ron. In the short time I have been part of this forum, Ron has been a source of inspiration to me. He has provided me with more help and expertise than I could have possibly have imagined. He is always quick to give me a helping hand and point me in t...

Ron As much as I sincerely respect you for all the help you have provide to me, I really do feel you are off base on this. In my opinion, I consider the HSGA a “professional” organization. By this I consider it as an “institution” for the promotion and a melting pot of the instrument and the wonderf...

Thanks for the helping hand but somebody beat ya to it.

Howdy I need the tab for the original version of "Steelin the Blues" by Jerry Byrd. The search I performed on the forum only turned up for pedal. I know a knowledgeable soul has this handy to help out a new steel guitar player. You can never go wrong with the classics. Thanks In Advance Sa...

Alan I forgot it wasn’t an original case but none the less, a very fine job. I am not sure if the case I have for the quad is original but it has several layers of black spay paint. I will post some pictures this evening. It I was to restore it, I think I would go with a tweed cover with red interio...

JB on the rocks works good to!

What did you use to take off the old glue on the case? You have me thinking about restoring the case I have for my Fender Quad.

You might want to try "GlueGone". It is a very mild adhesive remover. I have used it a lot on my motorcycles and some wood products. You can pick it up in most auto parts stores.

Thanks for putting this up. I have it booked marked. This will be a great source when I come out in February.

OK I'll bite. Is it a legitimate auction? I saw it posted a couple of days ago on ebay and rember the string saying it was a scam. Having been scammed in the past on e-bay I look for certain things to determine a legitimacy of a non-line business. And until you see the cargo sitting on your doorstep...

Hi Landon I just wanted to throw in my two cents on the subject of learning dobro in conjunction with learning steel. I received both a Fender Steel and a Gibson Hound Dog Square neck when my Dad passed away last year. While my main concentration is learning steel, I enjoy picking up the dobo at the...

Hi Alan

What a beautiful job on the case.

Do you have an update on the rest of the project?

Thanks,
Sam

I thought I would give you all an update on the history of my Quad. I changed the strings on the first two necks over the weekend. I put a set of the Herb Remington C6 High on the first neck and a C6 Low on the second. Man did the sound come back to life. :eek: Also, I took the chance and removed th...

Justin Thank you so much for your kind and generous offer for a mixer. But I do have a Makie 1601 mixer board along with enough power to melt my head phones if I choose. :whoa: For right now, this line 6 tone pod has everything I need. However, I did go to the Bose web site to see if they offer a wi...

Oh Boy

I am going to have fun when my new set of strings arrive for my Fender Quad
