Fessenden SD-10 3 X 5 Emmons Copedent. Has George L 10-5 pup. Decent case included. The pictures show the red a little dark. The red is the same red as the Fessenden D-10 currently listed.
$1900 + shipping.
Pedals ABC standard E9th.
LKL raises E's to F's.
LKR lowers E's to Eb's.
LKV raises Strings 1 & 2 to unison with 3 & 4.
RKL lowers string 6 G# to F#.
RKR lowers string 2 Eb to D/C#; lowers string 9 D to C#; and lower string 10 B to A
I backed out the tuning nut for string 9 as the 3 string pull was a bit too much for me to actuate.
The only thing not included that shows in the pictures are the two flags for the knee levers. They are simply held on by a screw tightened against the levers, no holes drilled.
History as near as I know:
A forum member I believe bought this guitar off ebay a few years ago and it needed attention. He sent it to Billy Cooper who restored this to perfection. Another forum member Loren Bayles bought this guitar and really loved it. He passed away the same week he offered the guitar to me, and what a blessing it has been. I have emotional ties to this guitar as well. It helped me to get back to playing. I have played it in church for over 2 years now.
during this time I have gravitated to D-10's and really prefer them. Since I have 3 D-10's now, I really don't need 4 pedal steels so I will let this one go.
I hope it will go to a new player because this guitar is so easy to play, stays in tune, and I have yet to break a string. I am guessing this guitar to be mid 80's perhaps.
It is perfect shape, with a very minor pad scuff that shows in pictures but very hard to see in person.
I would consider a part cash part trade. Trade portion could be in the neighborhood of $700.00,
Only looking for another amp, Evans, Webber, Fender twin, would like to try something good that has a 15" speaker or 2 12" speakers and doesn't weigh a hundred pounds. I'd like something that gives a realistic Fender twin sound.
Also love to get the Vox AC30 sound. Amp must be one that has pedal steel in mind.
I already have Peavey Sessions 500, Peavey Vegas, 3 Roland XL's and an Oahu tube amp.
Help me get this great Fessenden to someone in need.
Talk to me. PM or email and on this thread as well.

RKL: string 6 & 9, G# & D to F# & C

Yes it is and was installed professionally, looks like it belongs there. I have a favorite tone of the 5, and it does work well getting 5 different tones.
Yes it is very pretty.
I should try for a good outside daylight picture to show the red. |
