It might well be (and I don't know how you'd notate it, essentially an 8 strung in pairs. I don't think I'd call that an S-16.
I suspect it'd be worth a large amount of money to a small amount of people.

2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects

16 string
As i understand it , this is a ''single 16 string steel '' . I understand that it has the E-9th and C-6th all on one neck . I was told that it is '' VERY rare '' . I was told that there were only 3/4 still around , so if that is true this guitar will bring a lot of money . I was told that it was appraised at $25 thousand dollars a while back . I don't really know the value of it . I am just trying to see if anyone may be interested in this guitar . Like i said my friend can't play anymore so he is trying to sell his equipment .

Whatever gets paid for an instrument like that, I'd consider it to be as a work of art, and owning it would strictly be capricious, like having a signed Warhol print or something of that nature. For display only. I can't imagine any practical, professional use for it.
I'll echo Lane's remark about big bucks in a small market. But small markets do not big bucks always make.
25K as an appraisal came strictly from outer space to the wishful thinking of the owner, fearing that he might get screwed by undervaluing it. Valuations are only arrived at by previous sales of a similar item. Since there haven't been any of these on the market, what someone will pay for it is totally unknown and it has to be put up for auction to find out what someone WILL pay for the item.
And then it will be worth LESS than what it sells for, since the 2nd bidder DIDN'T think it was worth it enough to buy, and the winner is satisfied with his purchase.

Jimmy Krebs up in Newport News, VA had one of those years ago, and Charleton recorded a tune on one of the albums during his stay with "The Great Band". Wish I could think of the song.
Maybe it's my eyes or my monitor, but I don't see any logo on that triple-neck

All I remember is that when we delivered that guitar to Chas, Mike Cass and I had to double-team carrying it to the Millenium from the Holiday Inn. One man couldn't do it.John Haspert wrote:On that beast what are the tunings and copedant? Also is the weight measured in pounds or tons? Wow!
