Fessenden 13 String 8/5

Post by Aaron Garrett »

Pedals so smooth that you can play in bare feet - really. Birds Eye Mica, Lawrence 912 pickup. Absolutely fantastic guitar. In very good shape, but played. Set up in a universal tuning plus an open D. Selling due to financial need.

I have pictures to send upon request.

New price, a real deal to sell quick!

1600 + shipping.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Aaron Garrett on 06 June 2004 at 01:22 PM.]</p></FONT><FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Aaron Garrett on 28 July 2004 at 07:06 AM.]</p></FONT>

Hey Aaron,
Could you please send me some pics. I have a Fessenden D-10, but am interested in the U tuning. Thanks, Duncan

Aaron,
Good to see you on the forum! My Price banjo is sounding GREAT. You are right, this banjo does get louder.
Best Regards,
Marty

Glad to hear it Marty, that is an awesome banjo. I sent another fellow to Gary Price and he just loves the banjo Gary made him. Where else can you find a builder who cares so much about details that he makes 'em with Brazilian rosewood fingerboards (like the one you have).

Take care Marty.

BTW Did they ever find your stuff?

Aaron,
Our instruments have not been recovered to date. Should receive ins. ck. next week. The SD10 Blue mica Zum I purchased from Bob Nugent is one of the finest steels I've ever played. Sometimes I feel like it was a blessing in disguise.

Good Luck on the sale of your Fessy.
Marty

David may be on to something, Aaron....have you tried posting this over at Robert Randolph's Forum (which I believe is on his site?....I'm not sure).

13-string Fessy? $1,600? I'm sure there might be one of his fans that would jump on this! Image

Thanks Joe. I'll give it a try, but its really set up for a Universal player. It functions for Extended E9 as well, but its not is a Sacred Steel setup.

Hey Aaron, It sure is a beauty. I'd have to sell my ZB first in order to buy it. The only problem with that is actually having to part with the ZB, even though I have a new, well new to me, Speedy West Marlen and don't really play the ZB since I got it.
The universal looks good for a new project, though.

I am really intrested in this beautiful guitar. My question is "How much does it weigh?". I am currently playing an old ShoBud Professional. My back can't take moving it around. It is just too heavey for me. I saw some Fressey's in AZ this last January and I was really impressed with the workmanship. John McConnell, Yuba City, CA

I think the steel has been sold. I don't want to close up the thread quite yet because I haven't yet made the transaction, but thank you all for your interest, your help, and your kindness. This will make someone a great guitar.

When the steel is officially sold a donation will be forthcoming.
