Sierra D 10. Herby Wallace. gearless. 8&5 VG condition.
I think I may have been a little high on my initial asking price. I came up with that price from an old Reverb listing.( the Reverb price was actually higher) It was the only HW model I could find a price on.
Price Reduced to $2000 obo with volume pedal. if you don't want the pedal you can knock another $100 off of the price.
---------------------------------------------------
I am not sure what the outside toggles do. They are wired up and affect the signal (darker tone?), but only in a very subtle way.
I believe this guitar is similar to a Crown or in the Crown series. It has a 25" scale.
Case and Goodrich L120 volume pedal are included. The volume pedal works and is in very good cosmetic condition, but pot is a little scratchy.
If you do not want the Goodrich I will keep it and and we can negotiate a lower price.
A decades old, lower back injury, has finally caused me to have to give up pedals and levers.
note: photos of the guitar are from a previous owner, (I hope he doesn't mind) they are only a few months old and the guitar is in the exact same condition.
$2400 obo. Local pickup only in Western Maryland. Not willing to ship at this time. I may consider trades or partial trades for Fender consoles and lap steels or possibly the right Telecaster.
Thanks,
Stephen

Those two switches may have been wired in in case you slid in a pickup that had split coil capabilities. That would have been awesome. _________________ Carter D10 8p/8k, Dekley S10 3p/4k C6 setup,Regal RD40 Dobro, Recording King Professional Dobro, NV400, NV112,Ibanez Gio guitar, Epiphone SG Special (open D slide guitar) .

I never thought of that or heard of such a thing on a steel. That would be quite cool indeed. |

I've had two Sierras, and the mini-toggle switches on both of mine were indeed for switching the coil configuration for the Danny Shields multiple-coil pickups. That was a versatile setup, and I really liked the sound of those pickups.
It's a little hard to see from the pictures, but the E9 neck pickup may be a Danny Shields, the C6 sorta looks like a George L's. Actually, I just downloaded image and blew it up - I think that's what you have there.
Wish I had room for another steel. These Sierras are really fine guitars, and I'm even close enough to Western MD. In fact I was 10 miles from Hagerstown today, coulda' come home the western route. But I'm flat outta room. |

The quick pickup change feature is really nice. There have been a couple of coil tapped pickups that fit the old Sierras. I have a collection of about 6 pickups for a Sierra Session S-10. Had an early Crown as well. Scott at Steeltronics made me one of his ZB pickups and did a great job making the housing that slides in the Sierras, however it is not coil taped like the old ZB pickups. Sounds great! _________________ Microphones, Recording, and lots of pedal steel guitars! |

Oh man, this is tempting, and I'm near you. Hmmm
Do you have a weight on this in and out of the case?
And, what is different about the Herby Wallace model? I never saw him playing a Sierra- only Mullen. _________________ "You call that thing a guitar?" |

I saw Herby play a Sierra several times, before the Mullen days. Odd thing, though, one day I was at his shop in Sevierville and asked him about earlier times when he was playing a Sierra. He denied having done so, so I didn't mention it anymore. |

I don't know why I haven't seen these replies. Guitar is still available. I am still trying to make a local deal but may consider shipping in next month when I have some days off from work.
I do believe the HW model is rare . i have found but a couple of photos online of this model. I am not sure of the differences between this and a Crown . the tuners do not require a wrench and can be tuned by hand.
Lynn, I will check the weight and let you know.
Also, may consider trading for a Clinesmith cast aluminum, single 8 lap. |

Does the case have wheels? I’m actually looking for a single neck 12 but at that price I would be happy to have an extra neck! _________________ Shobud Pro1,BMI U12, Santa Cruz F, PRS Standard, Fender Twin Reverb, ‘53 000-28 |

Hi,
How far West in Maryland are you, and do I see a missing knee lever in one of the photos? |
