Have finished guitar custom built to customers specs. Guitar has adjustable individual strings at the nut. Same string spaceing from bridge to nut for easier bar slants. Curly maple with Cocobolo inlay. Jacks on both endplates for tuner and amp hookup. 5/8 aprons 3/4 decks. Flocking in bar and pick compartment.
Martin.

Martin,
Your work is impeccable. Have you ever built a keyless guitar?

 Awesome as usual Martin, how bout a peek under her skirt. And yes Martin has built at least 1 keyless cause I saw it on Ebay a year or so ago. At least it said it was built by Martin "Mike" Weenick....Stormy  |

Apart from the fact that I loathe the sight of gold plating wherever it appears (but that's just me), it just couldn't be any nicer!
What's your price on something like this, Martin – minus one neck, with 3+5?

| This not a Pedal Steel. It's a D-10, "no pedal" and as Mike notes a custom built. |

Mike
Again this is really beautiful.
I watched this double non pedal being built.
Mike built my blue SD-10 just before this one.
From what Mike tells me he is taking some time away from building to catch up with some needed work on his home.
This is a picture of my SD-10.

Per
The Tiger strips are through the whole 3/4" hard maple.
The neat thing is as you move your head from side to side the black becomes blue and the blue black.

Hi Martin
I think this is the best looking Steel you made so far. They all look great but this one, Wow
I love the picks and bar compartment and adjustable strings at the nut.
and jacks on both ends, what a great ideal.
I also play non pedal
Jim

Mr. Weenick
Every time I see one of your steel guitars and I think it is more beautiful than the last one you did.
Well you did it again, I like the blue one but this one knock me out. Good Looking!
Next time we come to Florida, I’m going to stop by.

Beautiful.
If a Double body with one neck is a single double (SD-10), would you call this a double triple (DT-10)? |

First of all I want to thank everyone for thier nice comments on Dannys guitar. I delivered the guitar to Danny Hammers at his house today in Floral City. You may be able to tell that he is very pleased from the rather large grin. I hope it brings him a lot of pleasure.

David, actually it is a little lighter than a D-10. Remember no pedals and mechanics. Martin.

Thanks Martin for such a beautiful Guitar. The tone, sustain, and playability, just blows me away.
I am just not worthy such a fine instrument.
I told you about my dream guitar. And you nailed it!
A big THANK YOU!
Danny

EXCELLENT instrument. I am just totally amazed at the workmanship of this.
I am wondering what the tuning setup is for each neck. I am not a lap steel player but very interested in the tunings????
I would love to try one of these out. I bet it sounds great.

Thanks for asking
I have Billy Robinson's C6 tuning on the back neck with a D on top and F on the bottom and he tunes his A's a little sharp.
Right now I have A6 on the front but Billy is wanting he and I to try some of Tom Morrell's tunings
I seen so many of his I don't know were to start.
Danny
