Here are my two Williams D12 keyless steels. I've got a Wide Body S12 on order. I've posted these before.

I don't really know. It's considerably lighter than either of the other two I pictured. It's a much smaller instrument. I think it's in neighborhood of 45 lbs. in the case, but it's probably a different case from what he uses now.

Just weighed a 4 & 5 S10. 26 pounds, 41 in case.
Bobby's is likely a bit heavier since he has a couple more pedals and knees.
Current Sierra guitar weights are somewhat dependent on what wood is chosen by the buyer wood density (therefore weight) can vary a lot even within the same species.
I've even weighed identically made cases that had a 2+ pound difference from each other. |

Holy Smokes! Looks at that one!
I've never seen that headstock on an Excel. Figures, every single one is different, new and improved.
Really nice. Enjoy it! |

This is a GFI S12 Keyless I got 2-3 years ago. I just got serious with playing it about 2 or 3 months ago. Why get in a hurry, COVID has shut down 2 venues where I was house band steeler.
This guitar has more sustain than any Steel I have ever played. I have a GFI S12 Keyed also, I need to set these guitars side by side and do some serious comparing of them.
I set both guitars up Day Universal myself, But the S12 keyless has an added lever LKL. I put raise 1 to G#-2 to E and lower 6 to F#. for E9th and fold up for Uni B6th playing. (Jury still out on this KL). If I keep it I will have to add it to my S12 keyed guitar also.

Stu I like your Keyless Desert Rose .
I like the body length which allows the first pedal too start behind the nut like a key model steel.
Plus the 3/4 body with pad would be my choice also. |
