The changer housing looks like a Marlen Pull/Release that I just did some work on, with one minor difference. This one has spacers or reinforcements between the changer fingers, the one I set up didn't. Interesting looking guitar though. I like the keyheads.

Surely, you don' t mean you don't recognize a "Bonanza" PSG!

Commonly known as a "Bananas" guitar. In this case, being that it's double neck, it's refered to as a "pair o' bananas"

Cool lookin' wood on her though.....

Keep on pickin'!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, six of these babies in a showroom is refered to as a "bunch o' bananas"

It will probably go cheap for a D11..

very pretty; I'd like to see the underside.

With the space between pedals 3 & 4, I think it might be one of Dan Shields/Tom Morrells earlier steels before they joined Maurice Anderson and manufactured MSA's. I have a picture of one of Dan's earlier steels and it had this pedal spacing.

Dan also liked the D-11 models.

I mailed the guy that sells this one to send me a pic of the underside because i might be interested in the parts but so far no picture.

This one looks home made.
But I am not so sure.
Maybe there is someone that can tell us more.

I have seen the pictures enlarged...but my photo publisher does not support this.However I can tell you that IMO this is a home made steel.
Pedals look like early Sho-Bud style but they also could be MSA.
Crossbars are round with welded on bellcrancks.Simply build be effective.
If this is not home made then it is a prototype of some brand in the early days and restored.

After looking at the undercarriage, It certainly is NOT a Morrell/Shields steel. Looks like a lot of parts were gathered to make this one.
