10 string. And are you thinking of making a C6 pedal steel without the E9 neck? Has that ever been done?

Sho-Bud did make a C6 S10. In the 70's they sold the 6140 which came with 6 pedals centered on the pedal bar. Later versions had the pedals to the left like an E9 psg. I think they shipped with 2 knee levers.
I have a 6140 and Ricky Davis went through it this spring. It plays so well now. Mine has the 6 pedals in the middle and 4 knees.

My first 'pro' steel - a ZB S-10 - was intended to be a C6 guitar. It came with five pedals and one knee-lever.
It's fifty years ago now so I have no recollection what, if anything, the extra pedals did but they set it up as an E9 3+1 for me.
So yes: another case of a guitar straight from the factory as a C6th steel; it was the UK dealer who switched the setup for me.

I don't use the 1st and 10th strings much and could probably live without them, but would the saving of weight and cost be enough to justify losing them? I doubt it.

10 string.
My single neck C6 guitars are 1) a 1967-68 Emmons S-10 with 6p/4k, and 2) a 1st Generation Maverick, played non-pedal with undercarriage removed.
The 1st Gen Maverick is the best non-pedal single neck console I've ever owned. I've sold two of them right off the bandstand.
