| Hi Tim- I purchased this guitar from Terry Wood. He had the current pickups wound and installed by a guy that used to make the pickups for BMI guitars. I can’t remember his name? I really like the sound of them. I have a 10 string console and just don’t need it any longer. Thanks for the inquiry. If you need more info, let me know. RP |

Sorry about that - once I reread your original ad I realized you gave the scale length.
Maybe next time I'll read carefully, then ask questions. Thank you, sir. |

| Gene Turner is the guy who wound the pickups. He is one of the most knowledgeable people on pickups that I have ever known. The Steel Guitar Model was call a Futurama Double Eight. It was built around 1947 to 1949. It's a Great Vintage Steel Guitar. My brother had it for about thirty years and I had it for over ten years. I'm primarily a Pedal Steel Guitar player. I play 12 and 14 stringers. If you are looking for a Non-Pedal Classic Steel Guitar you would really like this Steel Guitar. Hope this helps y'all. Terry Wood |
