Red 3x5 Fessenden SD-10. *** PLEASE CLOSE. THANKS. ***

Post by Les Hardin »

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.
