Selling on behalf of a friends 90 year old mother whose late husband built and played this instrument in the 1970s/1980s.
On seeing a photo a guitar auction site advised that this could sell at between £100 and £200.
Not sure how realistic this valuation is and I think the owner would be pleased to accept any sensible offer especially if it
was for someone starting out as a player.
Guitar location is West Sussex.

To sell this guitar you need more pictures with some close up's of the underneath so people can see what's on offer. It is very ambitious for a self built to..... start to build a double 10 , most people would try for a S10. Even on flebay this would make twice the suggested price as there is an awful lot of work in building one of these.

The pickups alone are probably worth that amount.
Roland amps, Telecaster, Tyros 4 and several self built steels.

If you want a more accurate assessment and can get it to St. Neots,Cambs. I would be pleased to take a proper look at it and see if it is viable.

Hi..... I just spotted this on the Forum. I'm a lap steel player desperate to move on to PSG, but everything l see is over my (retired and on a pension) budget.
This looks of real interest to me, I'd happily work on one neck for a while! So question one: Is it still available, and question two: Is there any way you'd consider shipping it to County Cork in Ireland? Don't laugh, PSGs are very scarce here, I'd obviously factor the shipping cost and hassle into my offer. Let me know, and fingers crossed we can take this further.
Regards Tony

Hello, I am very new here. If the PSG is still available, I would be interested. I have been playing guitar and lap slide for more years than I care to remember and wanted to progress to pedal steel. Based in Bucks, I am not too for from you.
