The Steel Guitar Forum

Probably way out of line, but I figured what the heck, give it a try. Name brand, condition and age not important, but want 8 strings per neck...this is for a friend of mine, not me. Thanks in advance for any leads.

Larry,
Would you be interested in a Henway?

How much ? haha Is it anything like a Steinway ??

It could very well be.
How much does a Steinway?

Larry, forgive me for this reply.I have a few D 8 pedal and non pedal Steel guitars. The playable ones in decent shape cost me $500 for the pictures. You might get a pitiful old Fender 1000 minus most of it for $500 on a good day.I know there are D 8's out there, hopefully they are all playable. Good luck in your quest.

Not a problem at all...I realize the budget is a little low for something in decent shape...I was thinking perhaps of getting something in this range and then over time improving it with needed upgrades...spread out the pain a little The reality is that it is probably better to get a second lap steel and tune it to a desired tuning, since my friend already owns a 6 string lap steel.
thanks

Larry, I have a D-10 pedal guitar less pedal board from the late 50's for $200.00 plus shipping. It could easily be made into a SD-10 pull and release PSG or a D-10 non-pedal. I don't think I have legs for it any longer.
No case. Photos can be sent if interested.

Sent you a pm.

Hi, I have a '54 Fender double neck 8 with original trapezoidal pickups that I am thinking of selling, but I would need to get $700 for it, plus shipping. It is ready to play.

It is missing the original legs and case.

I know it is more than your friend wants to spend, but thought I would throw it out there. It needs nothing. All 16 tuners work well and hold tune.

Sounds like an interesting steel...I have several options to look at...thanks for your message and I will get back to you when a decision is reached.
Thanks again !

I think for now I am going to lay low on this idea.
Thanks to those who have responded.
