I bought this G Dobro Assembly new from Bigsby Palm Pedals a few months ago for over $235. After using it for a couple months I have decided that it just isn't for me, though it is very cool.
I have all the parts, instructions and paperwork...
$150 shipped to the ConUS.
Here's more info: http://www.geocities.com/dbalde.geo/dbBigsbypp.html

That was quick . . . Good thing it is reversible!
I have redesigned the thing already and was going to offer a free upgrade to you early guys. The 2nd string arm is now changed to a "left-arm" and the 3rd string "actuating-arm" is moved all the way to the last position. This added spacing makes all of the pedal combinations much easier to actuate. It also features an adjustable 3rd pedal "height to spring compression" positioning to allow for differences in string gauges or height preferences. The springs can be chosen for specific string gauges and can also now be changed without removing the assembly.

BTW . . . would be interested in buying it back if the pending sale falls through.

Dan,
This sale should not reflect poorly on your product. It is very well made and engineered. The Palm Pedals did not suit my style...

Hey Grant,
There is no member search function on the SGF.
I would like to contact Kurt and help him out with the thing.
I have a lot of new information about set-up that I would like to share with him.
Hey Kurt,
If you are out there send me an email
dbalde@eclipse.net
Here to help.

Thanks Grant . . .
You should look at the "PS-67" with the 'F' or 'D' lever functions for a "Dobro" application!
In order to get closer to real "Pedal-Steel" guitar functions!
These assemblies can be ordered with a "Dobro" mounting bracket!
They would be much better suited for your appication requirements.
