Well,

Sometimes obsessively checking Reverb turns up a gem. Just arrived, 3 days later in immaculate condition, both the steel and the case. I could not be happier.

I have been searching for info in it. Built in 2019. If anyone recognizes it, let me know. I am assuming it was an estate sale

Niiice. Is that a Tonealigner pickup? They're no longer made but sound really good.

I know you're checking out different tunings. Are you going to leave it E9 ....or experiment?

There is nothing in the world like the E9th tuning with the two re-entrant strings (the "chromatic" strings) on top. It was one of the great musical inventions of the 20th century, as 8 strings evolved into a new 10 string standard tuning.

I got my Bowden SD-10 off of Reverb for $1,000 in excellent condition, plays great, no cabinet drop, sounds even better. They had is listed as a lap steel and it came in the case right-side up. Also came from a pawn shop.

That Williams is a beautiful guitar!

I can't keep up with you!

It does look handsome.

E9th - I couldn't agree more.
