Hah Hah!
Thigh pitch bending sounds like an aerobics work-out!

Yeah it seems that it is a retail asking price. The real price should not be that much....

Any vintage experts care to estimate the real value of this guitar??

I think by replacing the thigh pitch bending pedals with knee levers, it might very well run the cost over $5,000

$2500 - $3K sounds more like it.

I never thought about "thigh levers" before.

That's technically correct. A vertical uses the knee. The others use mostly thigh.

Time to start rewriting the books.

The market will bear $1200-$1300 on that guitar.

Must be a lot of real estate people listing steels lately...Since the interest rates are so low, homes have been selling for a lot more than they're worth...I think these folks feel the same way about selling their pedal steels.
Ebay has been known to drive prices up also..

Howard, I thought of going on the "Scarsdale Water Diet" and a "Thigh Master" for exercise, but decided against it 'cause I didn't want anything springloaded like that down there between my legs!!
