Up for grabs is a 12-string pedal steel. Was built by a man, named Larry Conway Dunway. Was designed for two sets of six strings. Has DeArmond pickups. Asking 425 OBO. Put a little time into this, and you can have yourself a sweet set-up.

I'm wondering if the guitar is all pull, pull-release, etc., and whether or not it has knee levers.
Is the changer from a manufacturer's guitar or built by Dunway?

I know. I like the wide body, like a Multikord in wood.

But, who knows. It may be a decent guitar. could be a good project guitar too. I would definitely offer less than what he is asking.

Appears to have an 'Excel' fretboard and possibly older Gretsch pickups. Could the ratcheting system on the changer end be intended for use as fine tuners as on a violin?

It's quite a thing, many interesting details like the fine tuners, but I'm losing that emotional attachment.
With no knees, it doesn't know if it wants to be a Fender or a 12-string.

I really am intrigued by this guitar. I would love to see it and try it. But, many more pictures, especially the undercarriage, would be great.

It would cost more in travel from CA to WI than the guitar. Smile Here's the link.

Dang; this is the second time in as many days that I got fooled thinking the thing was for sale on the forum.
And here I am hinting at questions of the seller, talking to blank, virtual, space....

I wouldn't buy it. I would just like to see what makes it tick.
