This is a guitar I built for my self in 2011. Built with beautiful Birdseye Maple. Raised graphics cast aluminum necks. Stutter button and ashtray built in.
The guitar is set up in a "Bigsby" style, with the Classic Isaacs tuning in a split pedal version with out the full change at the bass end.
Also A6 with the 3 standard 6th pedal set up. I can change this to C6 if a player prefers.
I would rather not alter the pedal set up, and would be looking for a purchase that wants this classic set up.
The outside neck is E13 but can be set up to the buyers preference.
Here are the tunings and copedent:

Hi Abe,
Todd made me a great offer on it yesterday when we were leaving there.
I should have said yes right then, but was to dimwitted and said I'd let him know today.
By the time I got home yesterday a couple of hours later I'd decided I'd be a fool to let it slip away and called and left him a message saying I'd do it. By the time he saw it he had another buyer.
Poor me   
A lesson learned the hard way, but I still have one due in the spring.
Best wishes,
Andy

Abe, By the way... That 1960 Sierra down in LA that you posted about a couple of months back got my interest and I bought it based on their photos and the two you posted of the underside.
Bought it that same day and picked it up in LA on a road trip four weeks ago and aside from 57 year old strings it's almost like new.
Davis Wright also thought as I did that someone had bought it trying to learn, given up and stuck it in a closet after a month or so and there it stayed until now.
Had to clean out the old gunky tar like oil from the changer because the pedals were too stuff.
Then I gave it some fresh sewing machine oil and it plays perfect now.
Need to do the same to the tuners next time I change the strings.
It was tuned as follows and works very well this way as it has the main knee lever changes where they are best on the pedals;
Anyway, thanks for the post as I now have a really nice cable steel.
Best wishes,
Andy

I love my Clinesmith D8...but the next time I commission a new guitar from Todd, you can bet I'm gonna ask if he's selling another one of his personal T8's with 6 pedals, first.

I just need a time machine so I can hop back 30 hours and say "YES!" right away when he asks again.
