Stringmaster Quad or What?

At the very end of this video of George Strait with the Texas Playboys is a view of the steeler & what appears to be a Fender Quad. It Almost looks like five necks. Does anyone recognize the steeler &/or know anything about that steel? For certain it wasn't Bobby Koefer.

Looks like a name on the front of his steel but its hard to make out

I believe it's Leon McAuliffe.

No 5 necks, just 4.

Thnx guys. No wonder George Strait looks so young. I noticed Leon died in 1988. Leads me to wonder the date of the venue.

What I found amazing about the clip is that Eldon Shamblin took a guitar solo--a rare event.

Here's another clip, same show. Willie Nelson sings Milk Cow Blues and Leon takes a solo at 2:48.

That might be the Austin Opry House or the original Austin City Limits studio. If anyone knows for certain, please fill us in.
