Ok, you guys are going to think I'm nuts, and maybe I am, but I think this could be a real winner if a Reputable Steel Guitar maker would look at this in serious manner.
I think it would be great to have a triple neck pedal steel manufactured.
The steel ideally would have 8 pedals and 8 knees, with the outside neck being 10 string
E9th chromatic, middle neck would be 10 string C6th, and the inside neck would be a 6 string neck tuned to a dobro tuning and used with a dobro simulator. Also you could use this inside neck as a slide guitar neck if you were in the mood to play some rock licks.
I just think if this was made in the correct manner, it could be a very kool guitar and cover all the bases.
Now let me see, for that fourth neck, anyone ever play Bass Guitar with a steel bar, LOL?

| Johnny Cox has a one-of-a-kind triple-neck Zum. Maybe Bruce Z could be persuaded to make another, but you'd have to ask him. It must be a big time commitment and he's real busy by all accounts. That's a whole lotta guitar!! |

Gene,
Paul Franklins dad already made Paul a tripple neck with a standard E9th,C6th and a Baritone E9th.

I've never been on Paul's site until just now and I see what you mean, but that's still a different concept, I believe. I just think it would be nice to have the steel guitar makers think about this concept and offer them to the general public, it would be really nice to be able to switch over to a real dobro neck and have the proper tuning and the correct gauge strings to go with it, I think that would be cats a$$ in a lot of ways, I'm probably barking up the wrong tree though.
Thanks

Who would want to carry a beast like that around? I'm guessing there would be world market for maybe 2 or 3 a year, tops?
A fixture for attaching a lapsteel to an existing D-10 would probably cost a couple of thousand dollars less. Way lighter, too.
