Try taking a close look at that Fender S10. My 1st Steel.
From the logo and keyhead placement, it's right-handed. The pedals though, are right foot or left-handed. Is it just put together wrong ... |

The Custom badge looks like something from a 70s car...
I have one of those D-10 guitars, the "Custom" badge is a non-original addition. As said, it's a Fender Artist D-10 dating from 197 ... |

The black S-10 3+1 looks exactly like my first steel-- unfortunately, no pics survive. . . . Aside from having only 1 KL,IIRC it played and sounded OK.
Hi Dave, if yours had only one KL I think it m ... |

Try a search for Al Brisco (Steel Guitars of Canada). He knew Wayne Link (I'm sure) and will certainly have info. on Linkon guitars. | |

is the changer a Fender design? Was it ever used on a Sho-Bud? Pretty cool.
Yes it's Fender (see my earlier post) and no, it never went on a ShoBud. |

A lot of the 4400 units made (S10s, D10s and "Maverick" students) ended up in UK and Europa, I've gigged a D10 since about 1980 to recent retirement. Great guitars, hard to break a string wi ... | |

I didn't know Gretsch was affiliated with Sho-Bud (note the engraved tailpiece).
This may help? https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1712/1241_ShoBud_brochure008_1.jpg |

Thanks again for the input Jerry. The tuners are two rows of machine screws with brass hex tops operated by the same wrench as the pedal/KL tuners. The pickups are fixed, no door - so not the intercha ... | |

The scale of this one is 24in. Is that unusual for Sierras? Or does it help to date this one?
(Sent PM to Ed P. as suggested, just waiting for reply). |

If this helps? Starting upside down (in the case). Two legs should hinge down together at the one end and should have pedals attached to a rod running between. Cables (or maybe rods) attach the pedals ... | |

I'm in UK so this is not for me (I got a Sierra D-11). But here's a plug for a D-11. I like a top G on C6th - with 11 strings I can have that and a D; best of all worlds!
The extended lower range on ... |
