c. 1972 Fender 1000 pedal steel

Serial # 01085. Thanks to a lack of information on Fender steel guitar serial numbers we're really not sure when this instrument was completed. Our best guess is that it's a 1972 model, but we'll never really know for sure. The double-neck Fender 1000 was built from the late 1950's until about 1976 and is a popular model thanks to its double 8 string necks, and telecaster-like pickup tone. This one is completely original except for a new switch installed here. The original pots date to 1963, and the white finish suggests a 1960's instrument, but the string mutes, Kluson double-line tuners pedal attachments, pedal board decal, and original cases (there are 2 - one for the body and one for the legs) all suggest an early 1970's build. Regardless, it's a great sounding and working steel, with looks to match. It's tuned to A6 and E13, and we'll leave the pedal set up to you to doe as you please. We're happy to ship this one out, but we'll need to add a $100 handling fee to box it up safely.
