EBAY STEEL?
The guy thinks its a 4 neck Stringmaster. It does look like hardwear and pickups off a Fender Custom, but what is it? |

It ain't no stringmaster.
All I can identify of the victim is the trapezoid pickups, and one tuning pan.

It seems as though someone took a bunch of Fender Custom parts, mixed them with a long scale Stringmaster body, cannibalized three Multi-cords, and created the first Fender pedal steel (though not made by Fender)!
This one rates a "WOW!" in my book.

From reading other posts and seeing posted pictures, I'd say that's a Fender Multi-cord. They apparently didn't sell very well;___that's the first one I've seen.

| I like how they even put the Fender badge on it. I could use those tuning pans and a couple of the pickups, but for the price of shipping that slab of wood I don't think it would be worth it. |

| I'm familiar with these instruments. They were made by raising the guitar body up on a high platform during a severe electrical storm. Upon lowering the platform, the luthier screamed "It's alive! It's alive!" then ran off to find his Gib-tone-Fen-dell amplifier. |
