It's the "sound," man... it's all about the sound. |

| What would I do with a bar? I'd need a left hand to use a bar! |

I took a gander at the D-8 Ethel Starr Bigsby at Bobbe's store yesterday and noticed that although it is a D-8, it seemed strange to see that it has 4-neck selector push-buttons! So, I guess you'll have to draw your own conclusions as to how many necks it had originally! The guitar looks to be in pretty good condition along with a nice case! It has no pedals now, but; my have had at one point in the past!

John, if you'd have looked closer, you'd have noticed some other things here. It does not have four switches but rather two double switches. One for the necks, the other for split coils.
The guitar has six pedals, it's just that it is in the middle of a setup change and the pedal parts are in the case.
John, if you don't know what you are looking at, just don't say anything next time? 
If anyone would like some accurate information on this guitar, call me.

Bobbe; No harm intended and I didn't say anything negative about the guitar. Everyone is this world and the next; knows that I know absolutely nothing about electronics, so; I only mentioned what I could see! I saw parts in the case and I also noticed that it was indeed equipped with pedals at some point in time. That was something that I didn't mention, because; I figured anyone interested would inquire through you who naturally would know all the details very well! Again, no harm intended and it certainly looks like a well preserved Bigsby! Carry on and my apologies!
