Has any manufacturer made a double neck steel that's E9th 3+4(or 5) on the front neck, with a non-pedal 8 or 10 string on the back neck?

MSA makes the Tour Pro that by default is 10 and 6. I think I saw that you can get 8 on the non-pedal neck.

(And maybe 12 on the pedal neck as well? You'd have to check with them.)

Before He passed on, Don Helms (Hank Williams steel player) had a steel with E9th neck with pedals and knee levers. The other neck was set up like his 1950's No Pedals Steel. So he could copy all his recorded licks on Hank Williams original records.

There was a Sho-Bud here on the forum a month or so ago, that had an E9th neck with pedals and a Marr's RGS (Cat Can Do-Bro) on the back neck.

Recall seeing Gene Fields' (founder of 'GFI' guitars) at a steel show and his personal guitar had both a pedal and non-pedal neck.

'89
Duane Marrs drilled out two holes in the keyhead and added two more tuners to make it an eight string.
For free, I might add.!
