Keith
I will check around in some vintage hideouts for to find one for you. How much are you willing to cough up for one of these beauties?
Thanks

That is an interesting changer design. Can the pitches of the strings be altered? If so, Does anyone know how I can get more info on its design/functionality?
TIA

That appears to be a Framus model 14270 SL 800/2 according to their website. The website is in German, and that's the closest model I could find.
I don't think Framus imported Hawaiian guitars into the US market. You might have some luck posting on a European-based forum.
FYI: There's a single neck version posted on Reverb from a seller in Paris, France.

Yes thats is the model thank you . That one offered on reverb has no changer - the main reason to have one of these.
IMO the changer works great. I have 4 tunings on mine, and almost no tweaking needed read on.
The only flaws are 1)you can bump the levers out of the detents if careless, and 2) the stops are by means of a little keeper nut that prevents full travel in some instances.
With the double neck issue 2) can be solved by putting close tunings together.
It sounds pretty good too.

I've never seen one of these on the West Coast before. I do hope you find one!
