I am the original owner of this Williams D10 Crossover with 5 pedals & 5 knee levers.....Bill made about a dozen of the crossover models and then discontinued building them.....each neck is capable of the 5&5 by the use of a lever that is conveniently located underneath the cabinet (shown in the photos)...moving the lever in one direction engages the pedals/levers for use on one neck and moving the lever in the opposite direction engages the pedals/lever for use on the other neck.....there is a neck selector switch for either neck or both live at once.....also there is a tone control which Bill installed in the earlier years but no longer does so as stated by him.....

I bought this guitar in the early 2000's....I think around 2003.....I have played (or played with it I should say) not more than eight or nine times as I could never get used to the pedal steel string spacing (I recently had Bill build an S8 5&5 with wider string spacing which suits me perfectly).....this guitar is in near new, mint condition....it has never left my home.....I would use the word pristine if it didn't need a slight bit of cleaning....it weighs about 40lbs on the floor.....comes with the original case which is also in near new condition.....

The necks are tuned to C6 and G.....G being that I'm mostly a non pedal & dobro player.....

The guitar is $5500.00 plus shipping.....I will ship the guitar to Bill at Williams Guitar Co. and have him set up the necks with the buyer's copedants (along with inspecting the guitar to insure that everything is in 100% working order at my expense).....buyer will pay shipping from Williams Guitar Co. to his/her destination.....

If interested, please contact me by forum email only.....thanks....










































G tuning.......I will try to locate the C6 tuning and include it when I do......

So Howard - when you chose the color scheme, did you just tell them to make it look like a Grateful Dead tie-die T-shirt? Because that's what it reminds me of! VERY original!

Ha!......I always liked putting colors together.....in my past life I was in the fashion industry and worked with colors which would change every year or season....here's my new Williams S8 8&5 (added 3 pedals after this pic)....I know it's not everybody's cup of tea but it makes me smile......
