This steel is the best I ever played and love it at lot but I just have to have a short scale to keep a good technique and vibrato when I switch guitar.
Its a very special guitar, Todd made some special design for it.
-The string spacing is wider to help slant : 2 3/4 at the bridge and 2 3/8 at the nut
-It have 3 legs (rare for this model)
-No volume control, if you have a volume pedal you dont need one and it give space for right hand pinky.
-Reverse tone control for easy and deep Doo-Whaa effect.
I would like to trade for a short scale S8 or D8 in great shape, I don't the mind cosmetic but it have to work at 100%.
The Clinesmith is used now because I played a lot with it so it have some digs and the black paint is used where I pick but its in great shape and it deserve a player that will take it for is #1 instrument because its a peace of art.
Since the Clinesmith worth the double of a Fender I can trade but you pay both shipping to Canada (around 50$), I can live with loosing the value of my guitar but dont want to pay for it!
