I built this one 7 or so years ago in my garage.

Here is mine...well, I did not build it, I bought it off the forum. It is a little too much for me ATM, so I went back to my 6 string. Unfortunately it is just sitting here even tho it rocks in C6.

The VOX pedal board work GREAT with it!

Built this one nearly 40 years ago to see if I could learn the grips for ten string pedal steel,
has a longer scale length 25" + and made from solid mahogany, has " a tone of it's own "
and everlasting sustain. Downside is, it weighs a ton, wobbles a bit on its 4 legs, but I do the same on two!
Will get it out again soon and give it new strings, and decide if It's a keeper or just one of the herd!

Photo of the neck complete with varnished paper star stickers for fret markers.

Built this and then bought a pedal steel a couple of years later so it's been in the case for years!

I learned to play before pedals came along, but when the pedals showed up I followed along. Still the non pedal holds a special place for me. I had gotten used to the string spacing on the pedal steel , so when I wanted to come up with a non-pedal console I decied to make one to my liking. I came up with a nine string triple neck, which I have loved over the years. It's solid and sounds as good or batter than anything I have compared it to, including the Fenders.
