These don't come round often, specialy in this condition...just a little dusty.
I bet this is 6k.
I wish I knew a little more about the knee lever option-pull-switch on the back. :)

That was always my dream guitar for years. I believe Ed had about a $10,000 price tag on it when he was building them. His Guitars were the cream of the crop!!!!

I had a Fulawka.
I bought it used from Al Brisco.
On mine, there were two knobs on the back side.
It was kind of a crossover setup.
It changed the configuration of the right knee levers from one neck to the other.
A very ingenious setup.
Eddie treated his guitars like his children.
After I got mine, I wanted to add some stuff to it and I had quite a time convincing Eddie to sell me the parts. He thought I should send it back to him.
But I finally got him convinced that I was capable of doing it myself. :D

X-over RKL’s

Post by Jon Zimmerman »

This setup looks like it has the devices you mention, Erv. One button on backside. Another along side the input jack. Clever, it is like 2 extra RKL’s without taking up space. 😎

Jon,
Mine had two buttons on the back side.

Any idea what the single nylon hex nut on the endplate between the necks is for? A gorgeous guitar!

I’m surprised this guitar haven’t sold already , these are awesome steels, and they literally never come up for sale ...

John , that single hex is to tune the 1/2 stop.
Damir, you’re right these are really special.
