Changer, pickup, neck, head, pedals, etc

[RichT]

I have some very good quality parts which used to be the C6 neck from a ‘70s vintage D10 PSG by the English builder Clifford White.
Comprises complete changer assembly, pickup, cast Aluminium head with machine heads and compensated roller nut, neck with fretboard, and 5 off cast aluminium pedals complete with their chromed steel pull rods.
I’ll throw in a number of return springs with adjusters, Blanton-style fully adjustable bellcranks, and a brand new Illuminated Fretboard (search Youtube for “Illuminated fretboard for steel guitar” to see one).
Price is 400 UK pounds including postage (UK mainland only).

More details…
Changer housing: One-piece cast and polished aluminium.
Pickup: 4-wire. Colours red, white, green black, and shield. Approx 15Kohm Impedance according to my small meter (photo).
Changer: (3 raise , 2 lower).
Raise & Lower finger material is 1/16” (1.6 mm) thick chrome plated steel, and the Control finger (ie the rotating bit that anchors the string) is chrome plated brass.
Machine Head casting: One-piece cast and polished aluminium with integral nut.
Roller Nut: Chrome plated steel Rollers are compensated for string gauge. (photo)
Machine Heads: These are the original ‘70s vintage Japanese manufactured units (probably Gotoh).
Neck: Maple stained very similar to ShoBud LDG green/blue with inlay. Fretboard is black acrylic with metal frets fitted. The position markers could do with being lifted out and replaced.
Pedals: Cast and polished Aluminium
Rods: Chromed steel with quick-release balljoints.

I'd be interested in this but I live in Ireland so shipping would be costly. Any room for negotiation on price?

[RichT]

Hi Roy, sure I can absorb the cost of shipping and insurance for you.
Cheers.
Richard.

All I really need is the changer and the pick-up housing Richard. I have a BMI custom built steel and I want to change the pick-up for an old Sho-Bud but the string spacing is wrong. Would you be willing to sell me just those please?

[RichT]

Sorry, Rod - they need to be kept together because they are not standard ShoBud or Emmons string widths.
The only items that could be spit off are the pedals with pull rods.

[acerod]

Oh, so they wouldn't suit the Sho-Bud pick-up anyway?

[RichT]

If you look at the photo of the changer you'll see that the string spacing is 3/8" (9.6mm approx).
I don't know what YOUR pickup spacing is - I believe that Sho Bud has at least 2 different spacings, one of which could well be 3/8".

I'll have to check that out tomorrow.
