Strictly speaking, that is not a Stringmaster. Whoa!

It's a "Deluxe 8", essentially a single neck Stringmaster.

That model is a Deluxe 8, but a lot of players today call it a Stringmaster to distinguish it from the EARLIER Fender Deluxe 8 that did Not have Stringmaster features.

Stringmasters had 2, 3, or 4 necks.

I always thought the deluxe's had the 22-1/2'neck, single pickup,and the sring masters had a 24-1/2 neck,double pickup? I started playing With the single
pickup 8 string in 75. I wish I still had that guitar
It was really clean. Good luck on your sale Hugh. Tennessee Lee

The two pickups are a "Stringmaster feature" that the Deluxe 8 has. The EARLIER Deluxe 8 had a single trapezoid pickup. Stringmasters came in three different string lengths.

Niels,
Thanks so much.
The one on the coffee table is a Laguna Indian rug. We had friends in New Mexico who were Laguna.
