Williams S-10 keyless

Post by James Winwood »

Williams S-10 keyless for sale. Currently in a c6th tuning.

This guitar is estimated by Bill from late 80's, serial is 127. Has vintage Williams vibe and sound, it has original pickup.

I just had near $500 put into it by its builder, Bill Rudolph. Mechanical parts have been removed, cleaned, de-grimed, and re-installed Now has the newer, modern pull system. Undercarriage and pedal board has been gone over. Any parts that had wear and tear have been replaced such as pedal rods and leg spools. Revamped pedal action.

$1000 or consider trade for Sierra S-8 or Harmos S-8.

Is there a fourth knee lever on that guitar? I only see three... but the RKL might just be folded up into the guitar body???

Inquiring minds want to know...

Steel is now in c6th tuning but can obviously be changed.

Yes, there is a fourth knee lever. It was folded up.

Looks like a heck of a good buy to me! I don't need one, but if I did I would be happy to get such a nice guitar for $1000.

Thanks Doug.
Yes, this is a pro Williams steel, recently tweaked by Mr. Rudolph himself.

You may need to raise the price to get some interest! It has worked for me before on cars.

You should raise the price, and someone still should grab this steel! Mr. Bill only buids fine instruments. Too bad you are not hearing the tone you want -- I truly love the way mine sounds. It's not the woody sweetness of a Sho-Bud, and it's not the metallic chime of an Emmons -- it's at a special spot in between. I wonder what kind of pickup yours has: mine was wound by Bill, and it seems like a perfect match for the guitar. However, pickups are pretty cheap to change out, compared to the value of the guitar itself, and they sure can make a difference. Hope this one finds a good home soon!
