1971 Clark D-10 $750 obo

Post by Bart Maloney »

Clark D-10 from 1971. 3&5. Back neck does not have any pedals or knees. They were removed to save weight and I can't seem to find where I put the rods and the other pieces. The steel needs tweaking but plays and stays in tune. This is by no means a mechanically perfect steel but it is one that can be played but could use some adjusting. It comes with the original hard case. There is pinstriping on the front apron and the headstock side endplate. The lacquer is checkered on the front apron and has worn away on the top behind the pickups. There is some pitting on the end plates. I will send detailed pictures to anyone interested.

Front neck has standard Emmons setup and original pickup.
Back neck has a George L E-66 pickup.

Once again I want to say that this is not a mechanically perfect steel and is being sold as is needing some work. I played it for years but recently bought a Fessenden and have no use for it. Asking $750 obo plus shipping in the lower 48. It is heavy! Serious inquires only. Let me know and I will take whatever pictures needed. Paypal preferred. Postal money orders also accepted.

I owned this steel for several years, I sold it in the early '90s. It sounded really good, but was VERY heavy, looks like it's had lot's of mileage since I sold it. Three of the mini-switches controlled a Maestro phase shifter that had a really good Leslie simulation. I don't remember what the other two switches did.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

Thanks for sharing that. Until Bart responds I won’t know if it’s still available. It’s in rough shape. I am good at restoring stuff. I’m trying to get into pedal steel. My budget is very very small. Buying a instrument like this is the only way. I don’t want a student grade guitar. I’ve played non-pedal for a long time.
