That's one beautiful guitar right there. I wish I had the money. You can't beat a Williams guitar. Larry

Dennis,

What is the redness in the front? It looks a bit out of character in the photo. Everything else looks amazing! I assume a person could purchase pedal kits and such from Williams in order to make changes and additions.

THANKS!!

It's just that one photo that is second from the top. The other one of the front (several pics down) looks normal but completely different.

What part of Indiana?

Zane, that redness is most likely a reflection of the photographer.

Dennis, that's a beautiful Williams, as all here have expressed.

But, I'm wondering if it is indeed a Series 400?

Not that it's a big deal, but I think I have a Series 400 Williams, too. Except my changer is not like yours. You have that Williams more advanced straight-ahead changer; the strings come off at more of a straight shot, than coming over a traditional roller.

What year is your Williams?

My Williams is 20 years old.

Here's some facts:

Chip this is what I have been told It was one of the last 400 series to come out . The undercarriage is built just like the brand new 700 series.

I don't know what model you have, Chip, but let's not confuse perspective buyers. The guitar that Dennis is selling is a 400 Series - all of the parts look right and it even has the decal on the front apron.

It was built after mine. The pedal rods connect to the side instead of the top of the pedal. That was, I think, the last change to the 400 Series.

b0b, I was not trying to confuse anyone. I'm confused myself.

Maybe I don't have a 400. My rods connect right on the top of the pedals.

What piked my interest was the changer. My changer is the old style.

I'm sure I could find out from Bill R. just what series I do have.

Mucho apologies. I'll crawl back in my hole, now.
