I never even played it. I have to lift all of mine 1 1/2" to 2" or I can't get under them. As soon as I got it, I tore it down for a complete restoration. The body went to Mark Giles to get the little dings and scrapes fixed. It'll look like brand new when I get it back. I have a lot of aluminum to polish and a few parts to make while he's working on the body. I'll probably put Alumitone pickups in it, they seem to work best for me.

I bought one and traded it to Junior Knight a few days later. Those are unique. Junior told me when Bud Carter designed it his mission was to build the smallest guitar possible that had a 3 raise/3 lower changer. For those that have never seen one it is so compact they sawed part of the E9th 10 string and C6th first string tuner buttons off so they wouldn't collide because the necks are so close. I had my push pull sitting in the studio and measured the two and it was even smaller than a push pull body. I called it a tiny steel and everyone was laughing on facebook but compared to ZumSteel's, LeGrande,s and even Mullen steels it is tiny. You would just have to see one to know what it is. The one I had didn't sound like any MSA I ever had. It had a bright lively tone similar to my Emmons LeGrande sitting next to it. You can tell Bud carried those ideas over to Carter Guitars. Nice find Darvin! That's a pretty one.

You don't need a tape line to see the difference in cabinet size in Paul's picture. I should have kept the one I had too. I buy and sale a lot of steels but sometimes you find some that are just plain cool.

Reece once told me that one of the drivers behind the design of the "SS" models was to make a guitar as small (or smaller) than the Emmons p/p, which at the time was the essence of compactness.
