Hey all you Fender-geeks, did Leo really make quad steels before Stringmasters??

Must have been a special order custom job by Fender or a conversion I'd say.
Looks like a Custom Triple with an extra neck added on the front. You can see that the 2 necks nearest to the player are the same height. The gap where the control panel is fitted is in the place it would be in a Custom if neck one was removed.
That's the only quad I've ever seen. Wonder what happened to it?
Great picture |

Looks like it has some kind of pedal conversion, see the pedal rod and extra leg… maybe a Shot job.
Hey Jussi! |

Hi Blokes, apparently quads are very rare, but I found this video of Asleep at the wheel, who uses a quad.
Enjoy!

Ok, I accept. I did not know the difference.
I just liked the video with a four neck steel.

| When chatting up Eddie Rivers after a show, he mentioned that blue quad did some time with the Bob Wills band, he hinted it had some interesting history! |
