I've got no idea who's selling this, or any dog in the hunt, but it looks like it might be interesting for someone on the forum.
It's a strange PSG - I don't know quite what it is...

Wow! The pic's are at weird angles. It does look like a lefty.....It also looks like there are PU's at both ends of the neck, and the control knobs in a strange spot. The ad may be reversed, or what? Kind of a take-off of that other early pedal steel, the one with 6 pedals all together on 1 side, can't think of the name..Maybe the first ambidextrous steel, doesn't say so....
WE need information!!

This guitar was discussed a couple of years ago on the Forum --->

According to George Gruhn's book this model was made from 1960 to 1966.
The guitar is not a lefty. It's played the normal way, but the tuners are on the right end of the guitar, to the right of the pickups. The changer is on the left end.

Ron;
the guitar your are thinking of is a Multi-Kord. they were built by Harlin Brothers in Indiana. There was a law suit over Gibson using that changer mechanism and they quit building the guitar.
