pretty cool to see these show up.
looks like this was originally a non-pedal someone converted to pedals at some later point. those aren't bigsby changers, pedals or pedal rack.
still a nice find that needs to be rescued. being a wood neck might make this an easy resto

This is the guitar:
After clean-up and re-stringing it plays as it should. Currently in C6-A6-E13. Finding information on original owner seems a long shot. If anyone knows who might have played a wood necked T-8 in the mid fifties (probably Northern California), any information would be appreciated. Will go to Todd Clinesmith for additional work in the near future.

Chas:
Thanks.
After removing thick coats of green paint from end plates the date became readable: 7-1-54
Originally non-pedal, seems to have been converted to pedal (necks 1 and 2) early on with Wright parts. Has signs of having had a headstock changer, although not Bigsby
Rick:
Thanks for the interest.
I have other photos. You could let me know what other views are desirable and I'll post more.

Randy, it's a Bigsby 😊 we wanna see it from every angle possible! Btw, you've made the right decision sending it to Todd. I own two Clinesmith consoles...he's a modern day master.Randy Hellstern wrote:Rick:

Very nice find, and very nice work by Todd. You've got a prize. Might as well put your name in the slot, or else "your name here" might be appropriate.
