This is a keyless BMI, 11 string, 4 pedal, 5 KL. I have 3 additional pedals, this is the model that tunes from both ends. This guitar will probably need a complete restoration,,or at least disassembly and thorough cleaning (one leg socket is stripped,,,maybe heli-coil will fix???). This is a guitar that Tom Brumley let me have about 30 years ago. It was the first keyless I had seen and thought at the time it was the coolest thing I had ever seen,,,clean, compact etc. Anyway,,I wound up selling it and needless to say, the new owned "used" it, (maybe abused a little,,LOL). I got it back about a year ago intending to restore it to the guitar I remembered it being,,but, as most of you know my hands are starting to limit my work. Asking $700 OBO plus shipping form 78130.
Well,,,can't find pics right now,,,will try to post pics this afternoon,,,or if interested send me a email. |

Jack was the first to respond,,,I sent him pics. I'll try once more to attach pics here
Let me add,,,the guy that I sold this guitar to,used,,and used,,,and used it!!!,,everytime something would break or wearout,,he would rig up some make shift something to get by. Also let me correct the original post,,,it just has 3 pedal,,,I have an additional 3,,and maybe some cross bars or some more parts. The case not "good",,but functional. I would estimate shipping to be 75 bucks,,,anything over I'll absorb. |

Thanks Sonny,
Now that I see it I think I will pass, it’s not what I was anticipating. Would you happen to have any 10 string keyless tuners you could part with. I want to replace this setup on a Lone Star.
Thanks, Mike |

| Actually what looks like "fuzzy growth" (LOL) is really dust/sawdust from some work I was doing when I took the pics. And top deck, which would need to be replaced is the only wood, the aprons are aluminum with mica inserts. I checked and I have 3 more pedals, 3-4 cross bars and miscellaneous bell cranks and parts. I think when it is disassembled to clean and polish parts everything will look much more "do-able" |
