This really is the swiss army knife of pedal steel guitars.
It is keyless and 23.5" scale, so about as short as you can get (the guitar itself is 69cm).
It fits into a case that is 75 x 37cm.
It has 7 pedals and 6 knee levers 2 x LKL, LKV, LKR, RKL, RKR.
It has a quad up and down changer.
The pickup is made by Ron Bennett and has a coil tap.
It comes with a 2" lift kit so can adjust to players of all heights (I am 6'2")
And it has hand carved wooden inlays by Ron which he described as a work of love!
It is not without problems. I bought it about five years ago as a wreck. I gave up trying to sort it out myself. Dave Wiggins did a lot of work to refill all the drill holes to the body work (it had been drilled a lot), Ron Bennett then redid the undercarriage which is a beautiful piece of engineering.
I have used it for the odd gig but I am still having problems with it, tuning and stability problems.
I have no skills or tools for engineering, and besides liking this guitar for all of the above I dont want to continue making trips to Grays or Liverpool to get things sorted out.
I will try and sort out some better pix..
