I did do a search here. This one's pretty different:

Changer at each end? My guess would be one to lower, one to raise, but...?

Isn't that how the Jackson's are made, raises on one end and lowers on the other?

This guitar was built by my dad. The seller contacted me to get the info on this guitar.

Just a bit of info, my dad never built any tele's.
I quit building steel guitars years ago because there was no money in it without CNC machines and I started building string benders in my machine shop.

Doug, thanks for your nice words. Some of the nice tele's you may have seen were built by Crook Custom Guitars and I install all of my the string benders in his tele's that were built for Brad Paisley and many other player's.

Thanks, Charlie McVay

Forum member George Redmon plays a twin changer Whitney. Fine looking guitar it is, too.

I've personally played some of these guitars including the keyless dual-changer ones and they play and sound AWESOME!
