This is a 85 D10 Marrs Pedal Steel Guitar with 8+4+1 knee levers.Birdseye on top and a wood design on the bottom.
It has George L's and a multiple sound choice because of 2 tone knobs, one for each neck.As can be seen in the pictures.
I was told this guitar ,was Duane Marrs personal guitar at one time.
Frank Parish had some comments in September also.Mike Haselman has played it and can vouch for the guitar.
The changers look like the changers he is using today.The bellcranks look like the kind he uses on his new rebuilt Shobuds.
The bellcranks have plenty of adjustment holes ,and makes it easy to get the kind of feel you would want on a Pedal Steel, with just some simple adjustments.
The changers have a solid body contact which gives the steel alot of sustain.
This vibration can be felt down to the bottom of the legs,with your hand,without using a amp.
The wood was used in the 80's and i was told it was 40 years old then.So the tone has about a 65 year head start!
I have just gone thru it, with some new lubrication and it works as good as any Pedal steel i have owned, Very smooth action and solid. It has two new Marrs fretboards on it. Price is 1800.00+50.00 Shipping.
Email me for pictures. Serial number is 0075
Email me for more pictures. I almost sold this Sept.30th 05, but changed my mind and held on to it a while longer.But now it has to go. [[This message was edited by Sonny Miller on 01 June 2006 at 04:57 PM.]
