BMI D-10 w/7 8 pedals and 7 knee levers

Post by Sonny Miller »

This guitar is a Red Burl BMI with Double body, and 8 pedals a 7 knee levers, It looks good and plays really smooth!
I have only owned it a short while but a Carter came up on this forum and i need to make a fast sale, in order to buy that one. But the price is firm and well worth it.
There are separate switches for each pickup with various tones that you will like.
The Carter would be lighter for me , and would have the changes i want, plus it was reconditioned also.

So i am selling a guitar that i have come to like also,and i am sure the buyer will like it too.
The price is just what i paid for it which was 1500.00 which included shipping in the USA.(only) Overseas would of course be extra.

Pictures available by email or if someone can post some pictures , i would be grateful.
651-407-0161 Price is firm!
DON"T MISS THIS BEAUTY!

You are right Jon, this guitar is about the sturdiest steel guitar i ever saw, period!
With that description, you find the big sound,and a guitar that stays in tune. It is too sturdy for much body sag.
Does not appear to break strings,from what i have seen.
If i was not buying a another PSG, i would keep it, but it is time to pay for that Carter i just bought.
Any questions 651-407-0161 Sonny

I have had 3 steel players at my house and all have said that i an selling it like a single neck and that it has to be worth alot more. This makes me feel like i might have made a mistake! But that Carter i am getting is better set up for me, and newer too.

I was at Sonny's house last night and played this beauty. Looks like new to me, smooth as silk action, many interesting changes that I'd like to have on mine. At $1500 this should go in a heartbeat. If I didn't have a great sounding Marrs and had the dough it would be at my house right now.

If you'll accept Paypal, then you've absolutely got a deal and I can transfer the money immediately. Please let me know if that's an option.
