Probably one of the best-looking guitars I've ever seen, this immaculate two-tone natural Williams has:
� tiger maple top deck, highly figured
� bordeaux lacquer body
� wood inlay with mother of pearl striping
� 400x series
� keyless tuner
� extended E9, Emmons setup
� humbucker pickup
� mint carrying case & leg bag
Has a full, rich sound, stays in tune, and plays very smoothly.
I've owned this steel for about 2 years, but it has never been out of my home; no clubs or bars. I simply don't have sufficient time to devote to this great steel.
For those of you not familiar with the Williams guitar, it has unsurpassed craftsmanship, engineering and attention to detail. Bill Rudolph really designs a beautiful instrument.
Price is $2495; no trades, please; willing to split shipping.

Hi Silvio,
Great looking steel guitar! I have new Keyless BMI Universal just recieved a few weeks back, if not I'd be interested in your steel.
Forumites, these William Steels are great steel guitars.
GOD bless!

Hi Terry and Jim,
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah,she really is a looker!
And sweet sounding ,too!
Couple of folks have asked me for the set-up,so here it is. Thanks, all!
The very first pedal is the zero pedal, followed by A-B-C pedals
The "0" pedal lowers strings 6 and 11 from G# to G
The "A" pedal raises strings 5 and 10 from B to C#
The "B" pedal raises strings 3, 6, and 11 from G# to A
The "C" pedal raises string 4 from E to F#, lowers string 5 from D to C#, and lowers string 10 from D to Bb
The knees are set up as follows:
LKL.....raises 4/8....from E to F
LKV.....lowers 5......from B to Bb
LKR.....lowers 2......from D# to D to C#
lowers 9......from D to C#
RKL.....lowers 4/8....from E to Eb
RKR.....raises 1......from F# to G#
raises 2......from D# to E
raises 7......from F# to G# |

One correction, Silvio: pedal C lowers string 10 from B to Bb. I've never seen that change combined with the C pedal, but it kind of makes sense, those two changes won't interfere with each other, yet you get twice the knee lever functionality. There are times when I prefer to lower each B a half step independently, so this is a pretty good solution!
One additional note: Williams guitars are triple raise/triple lower. They also have adjustable changer return springs, and come with gauged nut rollers, very important on 12-string steels, imho.
