Has anyone ever heard of this steel? It is a 12 string, I'm guessing some type of beginner's model from the 70's due to a 3 pedal 1 lever setup, or possibly an older model before multiple levers came into being?

There was a "Mark 1", made by Market-Rite, but I don't think they ever made a 12. My guess is that a "Mach 1" is an off-brand guitar or home-made guitar that someone put an old Mustang "Mach 1" logo on.  |

After some further searching...could be a Market Rite Mark 1??? Who knows, waiting on the guy that has it to return my call with some more details.

Ok, after further details, it is not a 12 string, but a 10 string. Pedals do not have the "Market Rite" logo and owner says it definately says "Mach 1" not "Mark 1"
Also fret markers are a series of diamonds on a fretboard made of metal.
Setup sounds the same as a Maverick from what he can tell me, but rods on the undercarriage are heavier. I have absolutely no idea what this is.

The more I research this, the more it is appearing to be some derivative of a Market Rite or Cougar guitar. But definately not labeled Mark I. Maybe a prototype or something...probably will never know.

It definitely is a Mark I. Got it for a very fair price with some accessories I needed.
