Does anyone know what year Fender went from cables to rods? I remember seeing an old Fender 1000 (I think it was a 1000) with 10 pedals all controlled by cables. The serial number on this guitar was something like: 0001000000. or something like that. It was supposedly the one right after the prototype.
I wonder what that old thing would be worth today?

Alvin,
Thanks for the info. I did not know that. I thought at some point Fender stared using rods on the 1000s because any you see for sale have rods. Did the 2000s replace the 1000s with rods then? I don't know much about Fender's steel guitars.
Joe

The Fender 400(S- , 800(S-10), 1000(D=, and 2000(D-10) were all cable guitars.
In the '70s and early '80s Fender re-badged Sho-Bud pedal steels as the Fender Artist Single 10, Artist Double 10, and Student Single 10(ShoBud Maverick).
There was also a Fender PS210(pictured above) that Gene Fields made, a very limited run, just before Fender got out of the steel guitar business.

In about 1975-76 Sho-Bud produced rodded guitars for Fender under contract.
It involved about 4000 guitars and the contract was for 1 year.
The various instruments were Fender Artist Single 10, Artist Double 10, and Student Single 10.
These guitars were professional instruments with one flaw: they were made with potmetal parts, resulting in knee-lever mounts breaking and changers fingers getting easily damaged. The pickups were Fender-type...too trebly for my taste, but when I replaced the pup with an Emmons pup, the guitar sounded wonderful.
