None that I ever heard of. You could take two D-10s and weld them together though, then get ya some arm extentions to reach the outer neck.  Sorry Daniel, couldn't resist yankin ya. But seriously, four necks with pedals wouldn't be very practical from a mechanical point of view not to mention you'd need a forklift to move it around. |

My four neck BIGSBY, controlled with cables and NOT push rods has a pedal on the top or far neck and it is not at all uncomfortable or impracticle to play. This beautiful guitar was used for years in dance halls, clubs, radio and television....and was never a burden, except when loading it into and retrieving it from the back seat of my 1955 Mercury two door.
Neither arm nor leg extensions were ever required.
Keep on lookin' there, Daniel. |

Chas, so far its 5 known, poss 6.
1,yours(Jimmy Day/ Curly Chalker
2, Barbara Mandrell
3, Gene Selser (my old one)
4, Robbie Daniels
5, Billy Tonneson (destroyed in a fire).
Jussi Had a T8, that he believed had been converted from a Quad, So theres maybe 6 guitars.
When I got the Selser guitar, I called Chuck, and asked him if he remembered it, mine was I think the only non pedal.
After the amount of guitars he had produced, I would have been shocked if he had.
He recollected 4 guitars, and by his own admission wasnt sure.

Danny, why don't you buy a (heaven forbid!) somewhat more "ordinary" steel and just start playing?  |
