I am trying to sell this 10 string dobro for a lady whose husband passed away. I don't know the year but it is pretty old. For the age of it it is in excellent shape. She wants $800.00 for it . Her husband paid much more for it. I will try to upload some pictures
 .

| Wiessenben said it is a 1978, and looking at the tuning keys I am sure. |

Why hasn't this sold? Is there something I don't know about 70's made Dobros? I thought it was going to get snatched up at $1,000, and now for $800? Not that I've seen every guitar in the world, but I've never seen another one of these. If I didn't already have a resonator I'd never part with, I would have bought this at $1,000. What am I missing?

Sales isn't always about just the price, it's solving the need of a particular person/s at a particular time of need. When you align those 2 together, a sale will usually occur.

Im baffled myself that this is still here! There cant be many of these around!!! I remember reading something about Weldon Myrick having a ten string years ago. Im not even sure that this was a regular production model. Maybe a custom order only, even though it was in their catalog... Someone should buy it for me and my forthcoming museum!!!

I hope it sells. They're kind of oddball. Don't sound as bold as 6s or 8s

Yes, I understand. That is the same reason that the Franklin Ped-A-Bro utilizes a D9 tuning instead of E9. It removes a bit of pressure off of the cone.
Perhaps different string gauges or tuning down to Bb6 might be an option.

| This guitar is still available.The guitar was made to accommodate the ten strings. There should be no problem with the spider handling them. |

I've built a few 10's. Not as rare as many think, but certainly they were a custom order. The spider handles the extra pressure fine.

| I just got finished cleaning and polishing the guitar. I put a new set of C6 strings on it and it sounds very good. There is no problem with it handeling the 10 strings. Still for sale. |

| The string spacing is . At the nut from thenth string to first the over all spacing is 2& 9/16. At the bridge it is 2&13/16. The spacing on my Mullen is at the nut 2&1/2 at the bridge 3&1/16. |
