Does anyone know of a manufacturer that will make a single neck C6 with offset pedals?

| Both Justice and Rittenberry will do it. Suspect you could probably talk Williams and Mullen into it, too. |

Phillip, define {off set pedals}
This C6 guitar has 5 pedals and 5 knee levers.
The pedals start I believe on the second position.

I had Bill Rudolph of WilliamsPedal steel build me a 5 & 5 C6 with offset pedals years ago. Blonde lacquer….OH MAN , was that sweet!
Buddy Charleton played it and commented on what a fine job Bill had done. I regret having traded it away.  |

I'm thinking offset pedals means having the C6 pedals where they'd be in a D10 setup. When I converted my Sd-10 to a C6 that way, my LKL and LKR were on the wrong side of my left leg . I ended up moving them back to the normal E9 positions. Might have been able to move the 2 Left knee levers towards the center ( so my leg would be in between the 2 left knee levers).
No sure there is really any advantage to the offset other than you may be familiar with having the C6 pedals in the normal positions. |

Tough to double foot with the pedals on the left.
Heck, I find it hard to double foot with 8 right next to the volume pedal. |

Nearly all steels are custom, made to order. It'd cost more than a 3&4,but I think EVERYONE who makes guitars will build this axe

Gee, Mike "Purple" Perlowin, now why would that be? 
I think Lane is correct; builders are clever enough to do he offsets to make it easy for you play, Phillip. Good luck . stevet |
