Topic: Carter D10, 9x9 - SOLD |

I had this Carter built for me in 2007, and at the beginning of this year I had it rebuilt with a new, gray mica body. It has 9x9 with a very logical, "Franklin-esque" pedal set up or enough hardware for you to reconfigure to anything your mind can create. It is loaded with BL XR-16 pickups. I had the nefarious "dog bones" which fasten the pull rods to the bell cranks replaced with ferrules. The ferrules are a tremendous upgrade and make changing the pedal set simple and eliminates all the associated problems of the dog bones. I will ship this guitar in its flight case along with allen wrenches for the ferrule set screws, extra bell cranks, D2F cover, and a big tuning wrench. I am selling to make way for my new Williams! The price is $2,500 plus shipping with preference to PayPal.
Cosmetic Disclosure:
The body is brand new, but the reassembly was performed by a different person. When I received the guitar after the rebuild, the mica on the back deck appeared damaged during reassembly, so I returned it for repair. The mica on the back deck was replaced, but the fit and finish of that piece of mica is below average. The back apron is finished in black mica instead of gray mica - I'm not certain of the reason. I re-rodded everything back to optimal playability.

Cameron, no big deal. We're I to have listed my copedant, it would have had more errors than things right in it
This guitar is a fine piece of machinery, especially with the addition of those ferrules and will be gone in a flash. Plus you have the other goodies included. The color is also one of my favorites
I play keyless steels now; otherwise I'd be the buyer. Stevet |

I've known Cameron for many years, and I know this guitar as well. It is a fine sounding and playing guitar, despite the relatively minor cosmetic issues. This is a great price on a well maintained instrument. Cameron is an honest person, and a good man.
I'd buy it myself if I could. But can't right now. |

| I have flown with this guitar in the flight case. I removed the legs, rods, and pedal bar and packed them in my luggage, and the guitar and case weighed in just under 50 pounds. |

| These Carter guitars are terrific guitars in my opinion. I played two of them for 13 years and they are solid in every way. I traded mine for a 64 Permanent that I've drooled over for thirty years! If I had the spare bucks I'd own this guitar of yours. My compliments! |

Al Brisco has some of those Ferrules -- I just got some from him for a SD10 I am re-rodding for a friend - much better idea than those awful dogbone thingies :-}

| Do the strings that raise and lower...especially string 4, after lowering or raising, return true? Really nice looking axe btw. |

Stephen, I have played a Carter for 10 years and this one and others I have played truly do not need pitch return compensators and is absent hysteresis. I have pitch return comps on every string which both raises and lowers on my LeGrande II and my soon-to-be-delivered Williams. But, the Carter is unique in that regard. I found it so curious I asked Carter and Fabian their theory. Neither offered a conclusive or plausible explanation. It just works!
With a pedal setup such as mine, I have 15 total comps at an average charge by most builders to be about $25 each. The Carter was quite a value back then! |

I have had the same experience with all Carters I had. I too asked John Fabian about that and he didn't have much to say on the subject 😉.
Some guitars for whatever reason exhibit very little hysteresis. I recently got a '66 bolt-on Emmons that has virtually none. All of my other PP's do. Go figure 😜
There was also very little cabinet drop on my Carters. 😊

I believe Bud or John told me Bud had worked with the changer finger ratios to get that right! I also remember that they lowered the string height to make it more stable.
I recall Winnie Winston saying his original "The Thing" ,his homemade steel had the strings an inch above the body, making it very unstable. He lowered the strings and it was more tunable, but then switched to a Kline.....Or I dreamed the whole thing! JS |

| I am very interested in your steel. Does both necks stay on all the time or is there a switch? Is there a lever for four and eight e to e flat? Is the last picture authentic? Is the Carter name on the front? My phone number is 1_406-254-6280 in Billings Mt. I would appreciate a call from you. Thanks John |
