{"product_id":"1955-fender-stringmaster-triple-783","title":"1955 Fender Stringmaster Triple","description":"Serial # -01587.  Introduced in 1953, the Fender Stringmaster quickly became the go-to steel for many of Nashville's finest players.  The more necks the better, it would seem, and the Stringmaster was available in 2, 3, or 4 neck versions.  Most were two necks, and very few with 4 necks were made - thanks to the extra long reach that furthest neck would require.  It's felt that the triple neck version is the most versatile version of the model, and as such, the most desirable.  Offered here is an all-original triple 8-string Stringmaster, complete with push-button switching, original legs, and tweed hard shell case.  Each 24.5\" scale neck is fitted with a pair of single-coil pickups mounted about two inches apart, with a blend control pot located under the palm rest.  Volume and tone controls are mounted on the control-plate of the closest neck. Completely original and in good working order, all solder joints are original, and electronic components works well.  The finish at the base of the steel has chipped away, likely due to water damage, and the case shows a bit of damage in the same area.  A few extra 1\/8\" screw holes have been drilled in the metal tuning machine housing as well - but the original tuners are unaffected and work well.  Original blond finish has moderate wear, Fender logo is in good shape.  The case's top felt lining is separated, and can easily be glued back in place.\u003cbr\u003eOn Consignment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sold\"\u003eSOLD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"FENDER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610405265774,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/triple__0108.jpg?v=1790964056","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/1955-fender-stringmaster-triple-783","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
