That model is actually called a Custom Triple (although it is the triple neck version of the Dual Professional).
I have one and they are great guitars - it's been my main live lap steel for a while.
Those lollipop tuners can be a pain to fix but people have done so and there are a few threads on here about how to do so.
This thread is a good place to start...

I like the natural wood finish though - I'd be tempted to either leave it as it is and put a Fender logo on it, or just add your own name on the front as I did with my Dual Professional and Stringmaster quad.
Regarding the fretboards, I believe Jim Palenscar makes exact replicas. Be careful though - these aren't exactly the same width as the shors scele Stringmaster ones so you'll need to give him the measurements.
Are those triangles painted on or are they just stickers? Before going to the expense of replacing them, I'd see if there is some way of removing the marks first (what have you got to lose?).

triple neck fender steel, natural finish
I have one of these too, Mine is a natural finish and looks to be original finish with a large Fender script decal on the front. I have checked my tuner pans as well. A couple of my strings are wound reverse on the rods so they work better strung up reverse when the tuner goes faulty. So, I'm not going to fix them since they suffice rolled backwards. I don't recall the signature in the tuner pan route on mine as I see you have on yours. Mine is missing the original case so I bought a gig bag with foam inserts.

I may do that ... but will keep it the way it is, I think its gorgeous just the way it is ...Alan Brookes wrote:It must be frustrating to have beautiful instruments pass through your hands yet never keep one. You should do what you suggested, paint it in the original blonde finish and keep it for yourself.
