SOLD
Williams steel for sale, universal tuning SD-12 with 8 pedals, 5 knee levers. Plays and looks great, no issues.
FEATURES
• Single 12 universal tuning on double wide body (pad area is more like a half-pad, not a full neck width)
• Strikingly beautiful turquoise color
• Metal neck
• 8 pedals
• 5 knee levers
• Triple raise/triple lower changer
• Tension adjustment screws for changer finger screws
• Split tuning screws for all 12 strings
• Hard-shell carpeted case is in excellent condition, includes legs and rods bag
All the Williams guitars I've seen have an outstanding high gloss finish, and this beauty is no exception. For those of you not familiar with the Williams guitar, it has unsurpassed craftsmanship, engineering and attention to detail. Bill Rudolph really designs a beautiful instrument.
It has a full, rich sound, stays in tune, and plays very smoothly.
I've owned this steel for about 3 years, but it has never been out of my smoke-free home; no clubs or bars. I simply don't have sufficient time to devote to this great steel.
Price is $2750.00, and I'll split shipping in the U.S. Purchased new, this guitar would cost over $3300.00. No trades, please.

| Does anyone know if there is a significant difference in the 400 series and the current 600 series? |

Hi Joel,
I had several inquiries about the Williams 400 vs.600 changers,so I decided call Bill Rudolph directly,and get the straight story. According to Bill,the 400 changer has an aluminum string lever,with a slot for the string.The newer 600 changer is made from 1018 hardened steel,that is chrome plated and has a hole in the nose for the string.Bill's a great guy to speak with...we also spoke about the amazing gloss finish on his guitars.Thanks Bill! |
