That is old. That is the one with the F clip bellcrank which is removable and easily put in another spot.

I had a double 12 MSA wtih the same underneath.. I think it was my first MSA that I got from Reece....al

Well, in all my years of playing, I've only seen two S20 steels...and that's one of 'em! One-of-a-kind, and belonging to a famous player, it could escalate back to it's original price (if more than one person is interested).

So....how was this beast tuned and what did the pedals do? Was it tuned and played like a double neck squeezed into one neck?

Also, how about that cool mic stand attached to the top?

110 lbs in the case!

Does anyone know the capabilities of this changer? Is it single raise, single lower, or what?

Looks like it would be a good candidate for an extended version of my F diatonic tuning.

What was the original selling price on this model?

Bobby-That model probably was double raise and double lower. The underneath looks like a D12 MSA that I had around 1968.My D12 with 10 and 7 was about $1500 then...al
