***Sold on Reverb.com***
This beautiful D-10 keyless is everything you'd want in a modern, compact pedal steel. Standard Emmons setup, classic black/chrome aesthetic, good tone and playability.
Lightweight for a D-10. Smooth action on pedals and knees. With case (currently missing a hinge, but I'll replace before shipment.
Shipping is included to continental US. Was planning to keep this one, but I've fallen for a '70s Sierra Olympic that I lucked into on Craigslist.

| I replaced the interior washers on two of the legs. They're still a little touchy, but they now lock when screwed carefully. |

| I need to find a new home for this steel. Any beginners looking to upgrade? Would consider a trade + cash deal to facilitate a sale. |

Never owned a keyless...how hard is it to change strings and tune ? I did sell my Gibson super400, but it will be a while till I get the money, since we worked out a time to meet in person and do the transaction. This seems like a heck of a steel,,,since its a series 400, what would be the difference in it and the newer series 700s. Sorry for the uneducated post, just trying to learn more. I dont really NEED another steel, but Williams guitars have always impressed me with their engineering.
Thanks.

I find it easy to work with. Wish the Sierra was keyless - I like the lighter weight and narrower size.
I'm sure experts could tell you better than I, but what I've found is that I just make sure that I tighten the string with the screw such that there's plenty of room to lengthen things to tighten it up, and it's as simple as that. The string locks in with a small screw, so you don't have to worry about complicated looping/knotting or anything like that. So you just loosen the top screw, wrap the string around once, tighten the top screw, then begin adjusting tightness/pitch from the end.
I understand the biggest difference between 400 and 700 series to be the generation of changer that was used. Know that the 700 series go for a lot more, but other than being newer and presumably improved, I'm not sure what the advantages are. |
