Fender Stringmaster 8 string dual neck non pedal steel $1300

[Andrew Schmidt]

Too much stuff: I play more and more pedal steel these days so this needs a good home!
I keep it in A6 and C6 tuning.
Prefer to deal in the Austin, TX area or if you have an interesting trade for pedal steel stuff I'd be all ears.

I have an 81 Sho Bud Super Pro, 8x6 I might be up for trading (plus cash). If you’re interested please PM me to discuss further.

Would be interested in knowing the scale length of this Stringmaster. Thanks!

[Ian Worley]

31 frets would make it a long scale, so 24-1/2"

Which scale length is more desirable?

What year is this?

[Tony Oresteen]

Long scale is the 26" Stringmaster.

Medium Scale Stringmaster is 24.5"

Short scale Stringmaster is 22.5"

This is a medium scale Stringmaster. I play a T* medium scale. Great guitar!

Good luck!

Blues & rock players use longer scales. Traditional country & Hawaiian players tend use short scales. It's up to you to pick a scales that fits your style. Slants are easier on short scales.

Yes just what Ian and Tony said; is all True and one thing I'll add; is when a Stringmaster was made from start year '53 to '59; Swamp Ash wood was used and is the most dynamic sounding Stringmaster until early '60s when regular Ash wood was used.
This one here is INDEED Swamp ash and a very nice restoration Stain; that looks awesome and would not affect the great sounds this one has.
