This baby is immaculate. I did change the tuners because I was afraid the old bakelite buttons would crumble. If a forumite wins the auction, I will donate a generous ammount.

I hate to sell it but I need the $$$

Yes the pickup is amazing, powerful and much louder than any of my other guitars.
I hate to sell it but I find I can only really play one instrument at a time. I don't want to drag several steels to every gig, and have all the extra setup time, just to switch between songs.
I had to decide to standardize on one instrument, one tuning, one volume setup, one amp etc.
I often play places where I have to get in, set up, perform, pack up, and be out quickly.
On the other hand, when I do a studio session, I bring the pedal steel, Dobro, Tele, and two lap steels. I must admit the producer often chose this SUPRO 8 over the sound of my other steels!
Sincerely;
Dom Franco
