Okay, I've edited your message to properly display the images.
Wow! That's a cool looking instrument! I've never seen one of those before.

Looks set up for two different tunings.
Could be a real handful to play 
Real cool looking, though  |

Where did that thing come from ? Outer space ? I've never seen anything like it!
The steel bar would have to be about 2' long not to mention the hands of the "JOLLY GREEN GIANT"....(?) |

| this thing belongs to my buddy joe ybarra in sacramento...he has set it up with kind of a double tuning....lots of potential.. and it also is good at collecting dust on the wall...joe's had lots of lap and pedal steels and actually gave me a 37 B6 rick in great shape (in a fit of friendship that i'm sure he regrets to this day!). this one looks like it must have been a special order item...i've never seen a rick pickup this big or a neck this wide! it's got a rick knob on it, but the headstock has what's left of an oahu sticker...banjo tuners for the middle 4 strings...i know david phillips (calif. multi (14) string pedal steel player) is already calculating how many jazz chords are available on this monster. |

Hey Chris,
Thanks for posting the pictures.
I am thinking, which can be a bad thing………
In July 2002 there was a single neck 20 string MSA that sold on Ebay and it used the combined tuning concept.
We might call it a “Siamese tuning” and I was told that it was made for Julian Tharpe.
I am kinda sorry I did not buy that monster, I meant to say 110 pound beauty.
I do love more strings.
Some people say its wrong or that I have a problem.
