What's the scale length and tuning........how are the pedals and knee levers assigned? Guys that play 6-string lap might be interested in something like this.

THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS.
I PLAY WITH THE "DAY" PEDAL SETUP DUE TO MY FOOT NEEDS SO PEDALS "1-2-3" WOULD BE - "C-B-A" ON
MOST STEELS . COULD BE BUILT EITHER WAY.THE LKR LEVER
RAISES "E'S" TWO STEPS AND RKL LOWERS "E'S" ONE
STEP. HAVE CONSIDERED OTHER LEVERS TO ADD BUT I
MAY RARELY USE THEM MYSELF- COULD ADD FOR OTHERS WHO
DO.
TO ANSWER THE OTHER OBSERVATION,YES,ALL IS HANDCRAFTED EXCEPT PICKUP,CONTROLS ,AND KEYS.
GOOD DAY TO ALL!
PASTOR BRUCE
BTW, TUNING IS SAME AS 3,4,5,6,8,10 ON E9 10STRING
SCALE LENGTH IS 23 1/2"

I've often thought it would be great to have a pedal guitar that sounded exactly like my short scale Stringmaster......maybe you're on to something.

P.S. You might want to hit the "Caps Lock" key when you post.

Thats a nice steel!

I really like the idea of a 6-string pedal steel!
