Clinesmith S-8 lap steel - SOLD

Post by Jerome Hawkes »

Well I just got the notice from Todd that my T-8 console is about done and you know what that means. I had this one built to get me by while the T-8 was being built and I planned to keep both, but a sudden home repair has ended that hope.

This is his deluxe model with flame maple, 50s style pu cover. Comes with org gig bag. I used this mainly for rehearsals for various shows as it was more compact than my stage rig so it's in near new condition. Set up for std C6 yet I had hi E13 on it and had no issues.

$1300+shipping from NC

Just Beautiful! I'm surprised it hasn't sold. I've listened to Mike Neer's Clinesmith lap steel and it sounds wonderful.

What does the Clinesmith sell for new?
