Good job!
For what it's worth, I think that Todd Clinesmith can supply dual/concentric knobs. He puts them on some laps steels that he makes. |

Mike,
My SD-11 was green lacquer like yours. I've also seen one that was blue lacquer with blue paint underneath. Definitely factory paint. |

It looks like a pull-release changer, like a ShoBud Maverick Might have been a kit.
But, for $400 including the amp, if the pedals and knee lever work, I would grab it. Good luck & have fun! |

ZB's have removable tops on the fingers. That would be way over-kill for your need. I would suggest something like the bridge on a Fender Stringmaster. | |
