Lots of wood, should have a nice mellow tone. Breakdown & set-up time may be a problem, tho....  |

| Put it on eBay where everyone asks too much for their stuff ... have a Buy It Now price of $7,800. It should sell in a couple of hours. |

Boy, I can see that peghead just slingshotting off under the stress of those strings. I wouldn't wanna be in it's path when it turns loose! OTOH, it may outlast the rest of the guitar.
Credit due to the guy that put all the time and engineering into it though...pretty cool actually! |

| Probably have to tune the pulls a step or two sharp in order to make up for the cabinet drop! Nice natural finish...Sears "clear coat". |

Looks original to me. We by anything in Oklahoma. Is there a mica version available? You should offer bicycle pedals as an option with a free weight loss video.
Oh Yeah, What IS the brand name?? Or do WE get to name it?  |

Looks to me like you'd have to have "10" inch fingers to play it. Try getting a 3-5-10 combination lick!

Quite a bit I would think - fence timber, 2"x2", nails and screws, and that's just for starters. |

| I don't understand the "roasting" this is getting. If you think building a pedal steel guitar is easy you should try it. Hats off to anyone who attempts it. My first home-built pedal steel was about 30 yrs. ago. I built the whole thing out of wood, including the pedals. No cables, just wood doweling. It wouldn't stay in tune, and the dowelling expanded and contracted every time it rained, so I removed the pedals and played it as a lap steel, in which configuration it worked okay. |

Youd probably need something resembling a pipe bomb to play this thing!
