I currently have my Pedalmaster D10 up for sale (actually sale pending). The body of this steel weighs 35.8 pounds, that is not including the legs, pedal bar and of course rods. My question is...is that unusually heavy for a D10. I owned an EXCEL D10 and I never weighed it, but I thought it was very light for a D10,,,seemed as light as some SD10s I had owned. Those of you who have experience, please chime in to help out...maybe my chances of finding a lighter weight D10 are not reasonable..what is the lightest weight D10 that you have owned that was a good steel.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or comments...Maybe I am just getting old, too old for a D10.

Williams keyless D10 8+5 is 36 lbs. I'm not sure of the weight of the case they ship with these days. Excel is very lightweight as well. Those two are the lightest D10 pedal steels I'm aware of.
I let a keyless Williams 400 get away that was the most totable and at 28 1/2 in. the smallest footprint of any guitar I've ever owned. Played and sounded very nice. I was always amazed seeing the petite cased up guitar after being used to even standard sized Emmons type guitars.
Though I have no actual experience playing Excel guitars, if I were in the market for a lightweight steel, Williams and Excel are the 2 I would consider first. |

According to my bathroom scale, my Carter D10 with 8p/8k weighs 61.7 pounds in the case.

Back in the mid-1970s I had a beautiful MSA D-10 that weighed at least 150 pounds in the case!
