Not mine....just an interesting old pull/release one off home made job? Check out the leg sockets...if I lived closer I might make an offer. Laughing

D11. I had one a long time ago but different color. I think I tracked the badge to the Beechcraft. Now we know there's two twin bonanzas out there (and 2 dechromed planes?). Anyone with a single, there's a logo on eBay:

If this is the sellers idea of "good" condition I'd hate to see what he considers poor Winking

Hey all,

I recall several, several years ago My mentor Vernon Page telling Me of a venture he and a gentleman named Bob Seis, went togather, to build a few Steel Guitars....

If I recall there were a couple Double Neck 11 & 10 string’s built.. And those Headstocks do look familiar....
I do remember Vernon saying they did git the emblems from a plane manufacturer in Wichita Kansas, (Twin Bonanza) ... hope this helps, as My memory has seem to fade a Lil over the Years. Ha.!


Best regards


JH

Hey Dave,miss you-sorry I don't come around much anymore.
To answer your question, NO, it was a POS. If I remember right, it was a solid finger with undersized mechanical parts-maybe from an RC plane instead of the real thing. One step above balsa and rubber bands.
