| I just love those old Fenders. They play great, sound great, built like tanks and are easy to change setups. I have a 1000 that I still play. Good luck with the sale. |

Very nice Spencer, I love the sound of the MkII Fender pedal steel guitars.
That's a good price..

Fender 1000 is 2 8 string necks, single raise single lower changer on each neck
Fender 800 is a lot more rare, Has a single 10 string neck- double raise double lower changer

Nope there's a plethora of them around..
To further clarify, the pre 1963 MkI longscale guitars were:
Fender 400, a single neck 8 string, Jazzmaster style pickup and 4 chrome steel pedal, 24.5" scale. Fixed bridge.single raise and lower.
Fender 1000, a twin 8, Jazzmaster style pickup and with 8 pedals as standard, 24.5" scale Fixed bridge single raise and lower.
The MkII 400 1963 onwards was a single 8, shorter 23" scale length with Jaguar style pickups, 4 black cast pedals, and a redesigned 'knife-edge' changer, still only single raise and lower.
The MkII 1000 a twin 8 with 8 pedals as standard, Jaguar style pickups and a mute system...and a redesigned 'knife-edge' changer, still only single raise and lower.
The Fender 800 was a single 10 with 6 pedals and a mute system the Jag style pickups AND a double raise and double lower 'knife-edge' changer
The 2000 was a twin 10 string with 10 pedals and a mute system AND a double raise and double lower changer.
24.5"

The other 800
And my 2000

What you omitted Spencer is that one of the pedals has been modified with a "Special" cable hookup to operate on 3 strings..That's a good selling point and probably outweighs the fact that it's missing the mute and bridge cover.
Count six pedals but SEVEN pulleys.
One pedals is set up to pull three strings.

The 400/1000 guitars were in production and on the market a good 5 years before the 800 was produced, and were produced along with it into the early 70's..
400/1000 guitars are easy to find, they are readily available.. The 800 guitars are no where near as easy to find... bob

Maybe in your neck of the woods they are rare, having owned every model they made, including a PS-210, I can say that the 800 and 2000 are not as rare or hard to find here in Europe..As I said, "there's a plethora of them around"
That being said, the one for sale here is pretty damn good value.. |

I won't argue with you and I accept the fact that Europe is awash in Fender 800 guitars.. However, in the US they simply aren't nearly as available as the 400/1000 Fender guitars. matter of fact at times they can be VERY tough to find if you are looking for one.
. As to this particular Fender 800 steel, the market dictates what is and what is not a good value.. If it sells at the asking price, someone considered it a good value.. If it sits unsold at that price, it probably is not a good value.. Quite simple really... bob

Their system of model names was sure confusing. To me the intuitive thing would be:
400 = S-8
800 = D-8
1000 = S-10
2000 = D-10
so go figure! Thank you for letting me share. |

And just to clarify if anyone drops in late - John posted what WOULD make sense, not the actual model numbers:
400 - S8
800 - S10
1000 - D8
2000 - D10

Posted 16 Dec 2019 7:01 pm Early 800 issue?
|
|
| If that brown nauga cvrd case is original, (or, is it a dull white) what would the year be, Jim Sliff? ‘62, ‘63...even ‘64?. I think all of Fenders coverings went black in 64. Thx! 🎅ðŸ»ðŸ‘ |

| Black Case era is what I thought as well, basilh. Wish I could see if there is/was a Fender badge on that brown(?) case. My own 800 came in a black case.. Fender badge with the underline/slash. |

“Tolex†is what Fender called their coverings. The word just now popped into the space between my ears!

Nope, Fender logos were only put on the (later) black and the (early) molded plastic cases. |
