Fender 400 console

Steve Hamill · From: California, USA

Well I'm getting close to having it finished, and it's turning out better than I could have hoped.

You have done a great job using a gutted Fender frame and body to create a nice looking instrument.

That's a real nice revival of a near-death steel. Its a good thing you got ahold of it before it became firewood! Shocked

How about gracing us with a little sound sample of this baby with the new Fountain O'Sound pickup?

I've never recorded myself playing steel, but I'll give it a whirl. The tone is very piano like. The notes sustain for a nearly a minute when just strumming an open string. The overtones are very present. I have a set of Scotty's C6 non-pedals on it tuned to E7. This is one huge hunk of swamp ash.

Between the loong scale, the Aiello Fountain p/up, and the swamp ash, the tone must be amazing. Congrats on a great job!

There was one of those for sale a few years back at the local music store, on consignment. It was originally a pedal steel wasn't it? The one I saw was.
Identical finish on it.
You made a nice console out of it! Very Happy
