The famous Fender 1000 sound plus the crunch on the C6th neck when you need it.
This guitar has the roller bridges and the Sho-Bud type fingers. Eight floor pedals and no knees although a former owner must have had knee levers as there is two cross shafts still on it. I have had this guitar about 2 years but since I got my Sho-Bud It
stays in the case. It has the normal nicks and dings that you would expect for a 35+ year guitar but it plays great and sounds good. E9th has the Emmons set-up from the 1st to the 8th string. C6th is emmons set up without the 1st and 10th strings. Comes with the 2 cases. $800 plus shipping

| Hello, Dave, A bump for a landmark instrument in the evolution of the steel guitar. Played with Jack Miller in the early 70's around Boise and the Western side of Oregon, he played a Fender 1000 and played it very well, he used an A6th and E9th. He'd spent a lot of time backing the stars that would come in to Jackpot, Nevada, and was a fine gentleman and a great player. I'm tempted to think about this one myself, but everytime I play with pedal steel, I'm reminded that I should concentrate on bass and guitar. I'm guessing there is someone out there who would like to have this instrument, Best Wishes, Michael Hillman |

Hi Michael, thanks for the bump. I remember Jack, I was playing in Eugene, Roseburg, and Medford with various bands during that time.
Leon, I just sent you a e-mail with some pic's via the slow land line. Let me know if you dont get them.

| David, if you'd be so kind, send me any photos you have to hillman66@cableone.net Have a friend who played a Fender 2000 back in our glory years, bought an MSA in 1977 when Maurice Anderson was showing it at a local music store, and still has that guitar. Another good friend who is a lead player, had a 1000 when he was in the Navy, traded that for a 2000, and never liked the 2000. He recently picked up an older 1000, it's pretty rough, but the price was right...they were a great guitar for their time, I think your price is very reasonable. Michael Hillman |
