Hi Chris, I was just wondering if you have found the short scale Stringmaster triple yet? If not I have one and have been considering letting mine go. If this is of interest to you please let me know.
Thanks and Blessings
Tommy

Here are two pics of my almost complete restoration of 1956 Fender Triple Neck Stringmaster

Hi Dan, I measured the cavity in my stringmaster and it measured 2 7/8" on the small end, and 3 1/4" on the wide end next to the tuning nut. The cavity was 3/4" deep on the small end, and 1" deep next to the tuning nut. The cavity hole was 4 1/8" long. Hope this helps. Tommy

I ordered this tail piece from Allparts and am very pleased with it. Sharp looking and well priced. It is going to work great on the instrument I am building.
Thanks for the info, Tommy

Hi Everyone, I finally got the latest parts on, hoping to have the pickups soon. So far I am pleased with how everything has turned out. Have a Blessed Day......Tommy http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/7179_IMG_0091_1.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/7179_IMG_0092_1.jpg http://...

Hi David, Thanks for the reply, and I value your encouragement. I grew up in the fifties when the Gibson and Fender were the steels to have. I am going to try to keep the stringmaster to it's original. I have another guitar that I built, that I plan to install the Gibson in. I have found myself caug...

Hi Russell,
I sent you a P.M. about some parts, hope to hear from you soon. Thanks for your help....Tommy

Thanks Dave,
I appreciate the heads up info about the pickups. I am having to work on some other projects right now, but hope to get back to the Stringmaster soon.
Thanks again Tommy

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the reply. Yes I have the leg flanges. I now need to decide which pickups I will be using before I go any further. Russel from Fort Worth has told me that he has some parts, but the pickups will decide what parts I need. I plan to call Lollar next week and talk to him about what ...

Okay here are some pictures finally! Restoration in progress, will add more pictures as it progresses. This has been a fun project giving the Stringmaster a Custom Finish. More later.

Russell, Thanks for the reply. I need to look at what all I do need and I will sure get back with you. Thanks again.....Tommy

Hi everyone, I received a Triple neck Stringmaster a few weeks ago. It was missing a lot of parts, I have located most of them to put it back up and running again. I still need to get the pickups for it, and was just wondering how the Gibson Grand Consoles from Lollar would sound. I also would like ...

I totally agree that they can and should have a better shape to them.

Will this one count?

The donation to the Forum has been made.
Thanks, Tommy

Thanks Quentin.....Tommy

Hi Quentin,
If you still have the Sierra fretboard, I am interest in it. I will be happy to make a donation to the Forum........Thanks Tommy

Mark, I am not sure, but probably so. Because the instrument was striped when I got it, I had to come up with what I could install to have a nice player. I have several instruments I need to sell because age and arthritis has decided to take control.
Thanks.....Tommy

O.K, How does $980 Shipped sound?
This still has the original finish, with the Fender Logo on the front. I tried to post a picture of the front, but was unable to get it to come up. This one is a player, and comes in a solid case.
Thanks for looking........Tommy

$1100 shipped to the lower 48. PayPal preferred. When I got this there was only the body with the fretboards and leg flanges on it. I had to make a few parts to go with the ones that I found to get it going. It was necessary to rout out the small separator pieces that separate the two Stringmaster ...

Thanks Joe, yes I really like this Lawrence pickup. The tone is clear and clean sounding. Tommy

Thanks, I am using A6 at the present. I really like the dept. of bass it has

I completed my 10 string early this year, so here is a few pictures to show you the finished product. The Lawrence pickup gives it a nice clean tone, and it has good sustain. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/7179_IMG_0007_1.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/7179_IMG_0010_1.jpg...

Doug's Book is well worth the money, He has some good Tabs in it......Tommy

Hi Andy,
The George L's have a nice mellow tone. I believe the Stringmaster pickups have more of a Stratocaster Sound. I like the nice mellow tone, and it probably is more of a Pedal Steel sound.
Tommy

Hi Paul' Thanks, The George L's are the E-66, They measure 1 3/8 x 3 7/8. They also have a 1/4 tab for mounting on the ends and the sides. They are plastic so they are easily cut off for the ones you don't need. If you can display me a picture of what you have, I think I can help advise you which wa...
