The new 705’s are just as good but not as pretty.

Hi Henry thanks for your info, I know that even the new ones sound good but now I only use 705 chrome in my two custom steels and one of the two 705s suddenly died, so I'm desperately looking for one for my steel for my concerts, I hope that sooner or later someone can sell me one, thank you very much for writing to me, greetings from Italy Francesco.

Francesco,

I feel you pain in trying to locate the "unobtainable"...any chance of getting your failed pickup rewound?

Hi Tom, thanks for writing to me, my Chrome 705 has a problem that no technician has been able to solve, so I have one of my two steels without a pick up and I want the chrome 705 again because I like that and that sound there, in the other twin steel I always have a chrome 705 and it has a spacey sound, but this one was perfect too until one day my sacred 705 died, I'll put you the link of the steel custom so you can hear how my chrome 705 sounded before I died, in the video I play a Franklin solo that he played in a song with Vince Gill and Sting. I also put you a link of the other twin steel where there is always a chrome 705 and I perform a solo by Franklin in the song Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits, in my channel you will see some videos while I play this steel custom in my big Band Dire Straits tribute and I use the steel with BL705 Chrome, basically I have two identical steels for my work as a musician, one is now in the city where I go to play with my band Dire Straits, the other the one where the pick up died he's staying with me now in the city where I work mostly with tribute to Neil Young and Country music, so I find myself with the steel without a pick up and I'm looking for it desperately, I hope I can find it soon. Thanks for writing me. Greetings Francesco
