I have an old Fender 400 Blond serial # 73.
It is a 24 1/2 inch scale first run stamped pedals.
Is this workable sellable or what?
Not bad condition, original case.
Tell me what you know or if there is any interest in the guitar.

Ken, I'm in Austin and may be interested if you want to sell it. How many pedals does it have?

Ken, did you sneak into my house and take those pics?
I have an identical twin to that steel, right down to the same stain on the tweed case.
I love it and just might take it out to the gig this weekend.

I would love to have one of these, unfortunately I think they are worth about $100.00 a pedal and those on e-bay trying to sell them think the are worth $1500.00 or more!! There has been one guy continually relisting a very nice condition example of one of these for $1700.00 for at least a year, I don't get it. I guess the real number for these is somewhere between 650 and 900??

Here's a pic of the end tuners.
I notice that some later models have two rows..
What is the significance of that.
Single raise double raise ?

exactly. But I think even the later 400's were only single raise/lower. The 2000's and maybe the later 1000's were double.

The Fender 400 & 1000 were 8 string guitars with Single Raise/Single Lower.
The 800 & 2000 were 10 string guitars with Double Raise/Double Lower.
Hope this helps,
