$1350......shipping negotiated. Probably a 1953, the pickups have been re magnetized and it sounds GREAT!
I love the steel, just have too many bills.

If that's not too dinged up, it should sell fast.

yes, just a few little bitty ones, it was probably not gigged out much if ever.

I recognize that Dual Pro as the one that I owned not long ago. I took those pictures in our living room.
It is in great shape. I had Rick Aiello re-mag the pickups, which are original and very strong right at 10 ohms each.
The year as I recall when I had the pans off is a 53.
I lubricated the tuners which are in great shape, while I had the pans off.
You won't go wrong on that one if it's as nice as it was when I sold it. I just never could get used to a double neck.
I had bought it a couple of years previous from Herb Stiener, another Forum member who is a professional.
Sorry you need to sell it Thomas. Times are hard these days.

Yes Danny, I LOVE IT, but have some unexpected bills and might need to move........soooo, just slimming down, but this is still in the same shape that you sent it to me in. Beautiful and stays in tune VERY well!!!!!

Thomas,
I think your right that this guitar appears to have been played out in public very little. I only played it at home the couple of years that I had it, and as I recall Herb Steiner told me it had been sitting in his closet for several years without being played. I doubt if he gigged with it much if at all.
Someone needs to latch onto this one as it is way above average in condition and playability for a Fender Dual Pro in my opinion, also there were no issues with any of the electronics.
My good friend Rick Aiello told me it is always best to re-magnetize the pickups on any Fender Dual Pro. He said these magnets should be good for another 50 yrs. They are probably stronger now than when they were new.
