Recently, my dad and I have been at it again. His shop is turning into a little steel guitar factory! Amongst other unique things as well.  
This guitar has 10 strings, 4 pedals, 5 knee levers. As you will see it is a keyless. The functionality and tone of this guitar just simply amazes me.
I will be posting more items on this guitar and others for that matter as I continue to promote my 10 string E 6/9 tuning setup. Later, in the Pedal Steel section I will go over each element of the tuning. I think you will find it interesting.
Here is the link...take a listen. Be sure to get to the last half because I think that is where the tone and character of this guitar really shows up.

| Zane that is really really nice. What is with the pedal pull rods moving from side to side so much? I have never seen a guitar do this before. How about some pics of the underside so we can see how this thing works? Thanks for posting this. Your playing, as usual, is great. |

| Zane, that's absolutely marvelous. The tone is there from one end of the neck to the other, and it looks great as well. The playing isn't too shabby either!!!! |

Larry R. - you are a funny guy!
Wally T. - thanks for faithfully waiting on me to get something on You Tube again.
Gary C. - I'm not quite sure. It is a little unusual. I will ask my Dad what the deal is.
Roger C. - howdy brother! Thanks for listening. I'm about to post a video of me playing Amazing Grace on a new 10 string Jackson Blackjack. I'll be interested in seeing what you think of that as far as tone is concerned.
Stay tuned,
Zane

| No doubt that the guitar is interesting Zane, but great googledy-moogledy, I think you could squeeze emotion from a red brick. |
