That tread material for the end plate is cheeky!
I like the absence of rollers. I built a more conventional instrument (with the changer at the bridge) but the tuner was keyless without rollers. I don't know why all the other makers get rid of the machine tuners but still have spare string length requiring rollers. Why not get rid of both?
The tuners are #10-32 grub screws which give a 5:1 leverage which feels just right. It's basically a miniature pull-release changer without the pulls!
Tell you what, Glenn - I do like your idea of putting everything at the changer end, and then changing ends!
Must make it easier to vary your right hand position without impediment.

| I like the looks of this one much better,,the straight aprons vs the bulging look. I'd love to see underneath,,,I guess it is the "no crossbars" design??? |

Steven, years ago I attempted to build and sell pedal steel guitars, but there wasn't much interest in what I was doing and I wasn't all that persistent about it. I've continued to build them for myself (because I enjoy it) and sell off older steels before my basement gets too cluttered.
So, to answer your question, everything's for sale. I do have a couple single12s that I could sell, and a single10. Starting around $2500.
I sell a lot more volume pedals than pedal steels.
