David - I just realized its a good thing I only visit down there a couple times a year - if we ate those ribeyes all the time, YOU might become a Wright with a triple neck!

David, thanks for posting more unknown Wright photos. Do you know anything about the pickups on necks 1 and 2 ? I have never seen these on a Wright before, tho judging from the photo it looks as tho they have been with the guitar a long time, if not even from the born date.

Cool. What do the stickers on the bottom say?

Don't say anything Jim.

You gotta read them.

Those two pickups look like Bill Lawrence pickups, but I could be wrong. Never the less, they don't look 30 years old, so I would bet that guitar has been out of it's case in the last 30 years,

I noticed that the outside neck only had eight tuning pegs while the other two had ten, was it made that way or were two removed?. A very nice steel for sure though. Also those "covers" at the peghead, looks like they'd slow down a quick broken string change on a gig...JH in Va.

"WOW" A three necked Wright Custom Steel with pedals very much like my 4 neck Console. This one is a triple 10. I would bet if you look under those headstock covers, you would find string pushers.. I am grinning from Ear to Ear. The Bridges and pickups are different. But I have not seen another Wright Steel Guitar that resembles My quad Console so closely as this. Would this Steel Guitar happen to be for sale? I would be interested in knowing.

Great lookin steel. Just had a triple neck Rickenbacker leave my house last night. 8-10-8

The look back then were similar.

Interesting guitar David. Did the pedals work all three necks and are there any levers? Do you know what tunings were on the necks. I love those old guitars, if only they could talk. Any ideas to who might have played them? You need to write a book about your Father and his guitars. For us newcomers our only source of information for the most part is things we read at a forum or stories we hear when we happen to meet up with a "seasoned" player.
Cheers Bro!

Yea!
I sure would love to know who owns it, and if they are into possibly selling it to me. I would like to get the Triple neck restrung and playable again if it works out, I would want to find a double neck, and a single neck as well with all of the same design metrics.
It sure would intrigue me to do so. Any Ideas on who to contact?

Still very interested in Who owns this Triple neck. I would be interested in purchasing it if it is for sale and at a reasonable price.
