Good evening all.
I just bought the unique 3 neck 8 string Sierra console that Jerry Roller had listed for quite a while.

Has anyone else owned seen or heard of another 8 string single, or double, triple or quad built on a console body with no pedals or knee levers? and I mean those built that way in the beginning, not pedal steels that may have been stripped of their innards.
Pictures????

Regarding interchangeable pickups. I wonder if the same shell was used for the 8 string and the 10 string pedal steel? Also, since they seem to be coveted and hard to find, is anyone making a replacement shell? I thought someone was 3-D printing some??

I owned two Sierra lap steels. As I recall Tom Baker of Sierra mentioned they used 10 string pickups on their 8 string guitars. So, that being said, I would imagine a 10 string box would be an option if not the answer for your Sierra.

A 12 string box would probably work if you shortened the end that does not have he pickup contacts.

The pickup is only held in the box with a silicone gel glue or tacky putty...easy to remove.

Thanks Tom, I was hoping that they just used the same sized box on the 8 and 10 string.

I sure hope there might be others especially with pictures, maybe I truly do have the only Sierra t-8 console????
