Red 3x5 Fessenden SD-10. *** PLEASE CLOSE. THANKS. ***
You are looking at an early Fessenden (have no idea of the date) SD-10, 3x5 in awesome condition (that's a technical term).
It's got Emmons setup with some Mike Auldridge tweaks (see LKV).
A raises 5 & 10 to C#
B raises 3 & 6 to A
C raises 4 to F# and 5 to C#
F (LKL) raises 4 & 8 to F
E (LKR) lowers 4 & 8 to Eb
LKV raises 1 to G#, 2 to E, and 7 to G (the unison lick on 1 and 2 to match 3 and 4)
RKL lowers 5 to Bb, 9 to C#, and 10 to Bb
RKR lowers 2 to C# with the half stop at D (solid feel), lowers 9 to C# and 10 to A.
This guitar was pored over by Billy Cooper for hours, as my checkbook can attest! WORTH EVERY PENNY AND THEN SOME, Billy has this guitar working SO smooth it makes butter jealous. There's not a ding on it anywhere - only 2 or three minor places on the edge of the pad where the matte part of the finish was scratched - very minor, it does NOT go through the pad material and is almost imperceptible except under a camera flash. The LKV lever is actually an MSA (I think) as opposed to a Fessenden original. I also installed a George L 10-5 pickup with the rotary selector switch on the side (see pix).
I'm asking $1700, shipped anywhere in the lower 48. It comes with a nice case, also in superb condition. I REALLY don't want to sell this great playing, great sounding guitar, but I have to repair the fence and barn - plus I DO have another SD-10. I'll try to answer any questions quickly. Thanks for looking.
