Does anyone know what ever happened to the Bigsby T-8 that was played on The Louisiana Hayride in the mid 50's by featured steel guitarist, the late Bob Murphy?

Scottys Music in St. Louis will re-wind AND re-mag a Rick pickup....don't know why they could do Electromuse also. They did some work on a Rick of mine...fine job!!!

Scottys music has one listed now for $950.00. It is the short scale A-22. He had a couple others in the past week or so...long and short scales, same price. I have one in long scale...beautiful tone.

Does anyone know if Fender produced a Stringmaster T-8 with a short scale? Especially later ones with the "blend" control.

On 10-23-05 the top bid on this steel was $3151.04. In previous listing 10-15-05 top bid was $5604.00. Reserve not met in either case. Why the sharp contrast in price, and what is a "normal" price??? ...

Eddie,
OOPS......make that $1499.00. The other one is a Stright D-8...Grand Console higher.
Marvin

Hi Eddie,
These in a music store will go for about $1200.00 to $1500.00, depending on accesories, ie case, etc. and of course condition. I think Andys Guitars has one listed now for $1199.00

Marvin

Bobbe,
