| That's s Pierce. Someone gave me just the body of one many, many years ago. I made legs out of card table legs, the pedal rack I made out of hardwood along with the pedals. And, I used coat hangers for the pedal pull rods. It was just an all raise changer, single finger like a Marlen. It didn't play that bad, but, wouldn't stay in tune and the pickup was very weak. I gave it away when I got my Sho-Bud Maverick. Never to be seen again. |

IDK, I had this wonderful little 8 string 4 pedal all raise Pierce that was tricky to tune but sounded quite good. I took off the 4th pedal,
The end tuning screws moved with the pull so it tuned opposite than a pull/release. The legs were a bit lighter duty but not really card table like, at least on mine. All wood , nice meaty end casting, and decent inlay.
I tuned it way down to G and it had a wonderful low end.

| It looks like the first steel I ever had back in 1969 ! Knew absolutely nothing about it or how to play it. Ahhh, memories ! |
