| Would this be an older pull/release? What would be a fair price? |

Underneath the body is usually a small metal plate with #'s. If you read it backward you have the year.I THINK...around 1979/1980 they went to all pull

| Thanks Rick. I spoke to the lady that's selling it and she said it's at least 30 years old. It belonged to her husband who passed away about two years ago and if I understood her correctly he was the only owner. She didn't send pictures of the underside but it is a nice looking steel. She's selling it for $800.00. If anyone is interested send me an email and I'll get the contact info to you. She's in North Carolina. |

Sounds like a good deal to me! I had one for a while with 8+3. It was primitive in design, but it played very smoothly and sounded wonderful.

As you can see, I've got a 73 D10. Smooth, stays in tune, not a string breaker, and yes "single finger pull release". You've also noticed I've been trying to sell it. It's not because of any problems with it, I just want a 12 string.
I agree with b0b about the price.
