8 string Console guitar - Bennett parts

Postby Tony Russell Davis » Sun Jul 28, 2019 3:23 pm

This guitar is made from Bennett parts, certainly the pickup and the fretboard, marked "B" at the twelfth. The head, nut and bridge look as if they were intended to hold changer "fingers", maybe a PSG was considered? Scale length is 24in. £300.00 + shipping (or meet somewhere - I'm near A1, Junction 51.)
I bought it from Dave Hartley's window cleaner a few years ago and he, with a friend, made the cabinet and painted it. The paintwork is a terrific red deep gloss - anything in the photos looking like a blemish is reflection, the finish is like a mirror. String spacing is 10mm.
I got the legs from the forum (sorry, can't remember who made them, thought it was Shakey but can't find the archive ad. somebody might chirp in here?). The mounting for the legs is my work: basic, but it works and is not seen, the thread is the usual 1/2 x 13 and the angle 10 degrees.

Hi John - I've never recorded on the computer, so I need to check out what's needed for the recordy-ma-bob thingy. :oops:
