Topic: Are any SD-10 cabinets routed for a changer under the pad? |

I'm curious...do any SD-10's have a space routed in the top of the cabinet (under the pad) for a changer on the back neck, so it could be converted to a D-10? Since some SD-10's have a space machined in the endplate for a second changer, it would make sense for the cabinet to be routed for that too. Which SD-10 guitars have that?

Ryan, I believe Chuck Back of Desert Rose Guitars builds SD-10 with the specific intent to later convert them to D-10s. However, I don't know how much preparation goes into the initial design.

My buyers couldn't afford the D10 at the time they ordered, but they wanted it at a later date when they had extra $$$. I appreciate all the support and feedback I'm getting....thanks to everyone! |

Back in the "old days" they were all like that. When Dekley used cast endplates, it was cheaper to leave the back changer hole there, than to get it plugged. We made a bunch of tops at the same time, so it was easier to drill and route all the holes the same.

You can also be fooled! There are probably many SD-10's around that were converted from D-10 by removing everything from the first-neck and replacing the space with a pad, to form a Lloyd Green model, by someone not wanting to have the C6-neck. In that case, the first-neck is set for adding back the C6 neck with no preparation necessary at all! Whomever set it up as a Lloyd Green model probably sold off the leftover parts! Some may have even built their own Custom~Steel with the leftover parts! Of course all this becomes evident by simply turning the guitar up-side-down and examining the underside of the cabinet!
