Jon,
Great choice you've made. The Fender Stringmaster for my taste has to be the very best non-pedal guitar ever designed. They have a TONE OF THEY'RE OWN, which has never been matched on any other steel guitar. The picture below is the '58 Stringmaster we got my wife back last November. After a new paint-job and clean-up it now looks factory fresh and has a tone to die for. Good luck in your search, I know you'll love it. Nick Reed
