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.

Yep, shipping is high now-a-days Shocked

But the cost of shipping one string is the same as shipping 10 sets of strings. So I always order strings for a bunch of my guitars at once. Including a few e ...

The description says 6-8 string.

Better to stick with one over the other?

Super cool to see double steels!!

Much THANKS for posting this!

Joe,
I used aniline wood dye by JE Mosers. The exact color is called "Greenish Peacock Blue" - great name huh? Laughing

Welcome to the Forum Peter! Very Happy

When Tricones were first invented in 1927-29 what tunings were players using?

Very cool

How did you join the necks? Just glue? Or dowels, biscuits, or? Excellent job

Try taking it to an auto-parts store.
I "think" they're just old style carburetor parts.
(remember carburetors??)

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.

Mike,
I'm pretty sure that green paint is original. My ZB SD-11 also had green paint underneath. Very close ser # to yours.
Sweet one!!!

Oops I meant 6-40 !!! Oh Well

A few years ago I made myself a batch of turnbuckles using brass hex rod. Mine are tapped for 6-40, with 6-40 nuts to lock them. Never had a problem, so I don't think it's the brass.
I have had issue ...

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!

The paper clip is a great idea too!
Here's what I did. It has the advantage of grounding all the strings.

Stephen, that's perfect! Much better than my idea of copper tape.
I love this forum! Idea

Thanks!

Brian, I am so glad you're enjoying that beauty Very Happy

I think it's the prettiest one I've ever seen. The only reason I sold it is because 12 strings is just too many for my brain Laughing

Mike, I've ...

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.
