Customer brought in a Triple neck Wright in case. 4 pedals. Looks to be in resonable shape. What are these
worth. It is playable but I figure it's for a collector. It has Jiggs on the front. |

Knowing which decade the guitar was made would be helpful. Do you have any photos?
Is it 24 inch scale, 25? Other scale? How many strings are the necks? Which pickups does it have? Cast pedal rack, wood pedal rack? Is the logo painted, or a badge? If painted, is the custom on the same line as Wright, or below? Does the guitar have exposed endplates or are the ends wood? If there are endplates, are there acorn nuts showing in front? How many on each end? How do the legs attach -- threads or clamps? What kind of pulleys are used? Are there any numbers stamped on the thin bottom edge of the keyhead endplate?

Nice.
How about some close ups of the keyhead/nut areas and changer mechanisms ?
Also, undercarriage pics would be nice. Are the cables all intact? What changes do which pedals make on which necks ?
Thanks !

| I'm paying attention to this one, because there's a good chance I'm going to sell my T-10 Wright, that probably belonged to Norm Hamlet. |

I think Barbara Mandrell played a Wright steel that was a quad neck. She played it when she was five years old and it can now be seen in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Here is my Quad Wright. I am debating if it needs refinishing or not. I think it used to belong to Rory Gallagher. It has a number 015 stamped in the 3/16ths bottom edge of the endplate.

Don't mess with it, man. Clean examples like that don't come along all that often.
It looks like an "under the bed" guitar. Sadly, the bed was in one of the staterooms on the Titanic.
