I'm looking around for an old single neck Fender, either 8 or 10 string, but with the old skinny pickup (not the wider ShoBud-style pickup) and a cable undercarriage. Sunburst finish would be great. I'm not concerned about how many pedals, 3 or 4 is adequate. I'd also be interested in having some knee levers installed.
Thanks for reading!

| Hey Chris, small world. I'm already checked in with Billy Cooper and some of the major dealers, so I'm starting to put up a few wanted ads. Hope all is well!! |

| Dave, none of the 10-string (cable-operated) Fender pedal steels had the wide pickup, they all came with the later, skinny, Jaguar-style pickup, as did all the 8-string models made after 1963. So, what you're looking for is a '64 or later Model 400 (S-8) or Model 800 (S-10) with the original Fender pick-ups. |

| Well, actually I'm a total Fender newbie-- I assumed from seeing pics that the Jag pickup was older and the wider one was a Sho-Bud (my main guitar is a '75 Sho-Bud Pro III Custom). I'm not interested in playing a Fender as my main instrument, just as a specialty thing for fun and for sessions where I want an intensely retro sound. Not even sure if I'm going to play it E9 or start fooling around with Kleinow's setup. Any advice is really helpful!! |

If you want something different, then the Sneaky Pete setup qualifies. - GP |
