Jending-I had one on trial for a weekend in 1972 in Phoenix, Arizona. I liked it real well. throw a switch and all the pedals and knees work the other neck. No pull rods or bell cranks or nylon tunesr to fool with. It played in tune and was easy to play.

To change a pull, just take a srew out of one hole in the changer and put it in another and adjust. That is it. They were heavy , if I remember, and at the time too expensive for me to afford it...al Image

Gene Fields,the fellow that builds GFI guitars was involved in the design and building of them. That says a lot there.

I was at the unveiling of the PS-210 at Blackie Taylor's Music in Hawaiian Gardens, California in the sixties. I wasn't playing much steel then so I'm not able to give a good review of the instrument. I remember there were a lot of good players present and a bunch of 'em tried it out with no negative comments. I was very impressed with the overall look of the instrument. I'd never seen a keyless guitar before. I remember one guy playing it and saying "This thing don't wobble at all, it's built like a dang tank"........JH in Va.
