Beautiful Fessenden S10, 4X5, SOLD!

Post by Kent Viles »

SOLD.This is the Fessy never thought I would sell! Moving into full-time manufacturing of my Reso design, The “Dobrato”. The set up is a 4 x 5 (Franklin 4th), just had a complete tune up by Mullen. The action is tight, responsive and quiet! They did a great job! E’s on the left, lightweight, great tone. This guitar is ready to gig out of the case. The Sunburst is beautiful! Includes original tool looking case. SOLD. plus actual shipping to your location. Thanks.

It’s a black, tooled leather look, not really leather. It does not have split cases. Thanks

It sure is! It’s your old guitar. So sorry to sell it as you recall what a great player it is. Moving forward and I’ll get back into the steel down the road. Thanks!

Kent, you don’t owe me any explanation. I let that fine guitar go to get one that matched my old green Chevy truck. Lol

FWIW, that’s a fine sounding guitar that plays smooth and is very stable.

Sorry, fouled that up, anyway the Dobrato is my unique Reso design with My B Bender / Vibrato system. You can check it out if you go to my YouTube channel Dobrrato Resophonics or type Dobrato into Google Search. Thanks.

Hmmm...I was wondering if you still had this, Kent. Don't know if you remember me, but I was the guy who bought the cap that was in the window.

Does this guitar have compensators on it? Looks like some of the lowers do and some don't. Maybe I just can't see them.
2,4,5,6,8, and 9th strings can be lowered. Not sure which ones have compensators or not.

Looks to me to be a split rod on 6.
I believe this guitar does not have split screws in the changer.
Is that true,Kent? Ron
