I am selling this for $1,000.00. It is authenticated, and has holes for brackets on the bottom. The legs and brackets are not included. I was trying out a new tuning, the letters are latex, they will be removed.

Thanks

Sounds about right. Any info on the pickup? Is it the pic, or is one of the tuner buttons missing? More pics and a pic of the case would be great, thanks!

The picture is somewhat askew, there is no missing tuner buttons. There is just a guy who is new to this, and trying like hell to get pictures to work!

I believe George had the pick-ups custom wound, I am not sure. They sound very nice, to my ears. There is no case.

I called this a GeorgeBoards Retro-Master.

Started out as a Double 8 and wound up being 2 single 8s.

The Pickups are a custom job exclusively to my specs by Tom Brantley. Same as an original SM Fender in winds gauge enamel coating and so on. They are the phase in and out correct with a blend knob, and correct value tone.

The Nut and Bridge are custom made Brass 360 Alloy wide spacing close to an original Fender's. (within a few thousands)

The Fret Board is a Retro from Steel Guitar North County, and it is a 24.5 scale.

The Price is very low, far below my cost to make the instrument. Solid 1 piece Sculpted Walnut AAA quality.

The body is CNC Precision machined routing, and many hours of hand finishing.

The Brackets are called Sockets, available from several places Jimmy Hudson and others.

This is a very special Collectors Item, only one ever made in this thickness 1.75" current collectible value is over 1500.00 usd.

If Loyal still has the original Certificate of Authenticity, it has a second line for the sellers signature and date, this is to pass the provenance along to the next owner.

hopefully this will clarify some of the questions, - some one will be getting a really nice collectible.

Things I didn't know! I only know it plays like butter and if it wasn't due to a minor financial situation I find myself in, It would never leave the house.

Thanks
