Hi Michael

Beautiful Guitar -- 1959 - 1961 based on tuner pan and case.
Knobs under bridge covers are blend pots and they, blend/balance between pickups to dial in the sound you want

Isn't that an Epitome lap steel?

Hi Mark
I think it's an Angelus by Dobro or indirectly by one of the companies they built thru like Regal or Norwood Chimes.

I was surfin' the bay and saw it too -- temptations been killin' me.
Don't need it but like you said.....

Hi Roger

He mentioned the Deluxe 8 blend pot in his first post.

Dan, I don't think there's anything in your posts that would give anyone cause to doubt your character.

Sorry for playing this game of putting the file up and then taking it down.

Don't be sorry -- this is good stuff and I'm really enjoying the process -- Anxious to hear the final tribute.

Thanks Noah

Roy, that was right in the pocket ---- Rich but not overplayed.

Don't be so critical guys. If you read the auction he explains:

"I will hand deliver this to the new owner, that cost is built in to the sale price."
