I have a beautiful blue/natural lacquer D-10, 8/8 with polished pedals/knees. This guitar was played on the TV show Music City Tonight for only a few weeks, then bought by me, and has sat in the case for 8 or so years. It is literally new except for Tommy's few weeks of Mojo The guitar is equipped with 10-1 pickups, wooden necks and sounds like a Sho-bud on steroids!

What I really want is a D-10 Legrande II or III. must be black with at least 6 knee levers.

I'll try to post a pic here but it doesn't near do it justice. I will take/send quality pics to serious buyers only, please.

I also have video of Tommy playing it on the show and the tone is to-die-for.

Thanks,

Bob

I've had a lot of interest for this amazing guitar. Here are some sound samples from Tommy playing it on TV.

This is from a vcr tape, and the quality reduced so the file size could be manageable. At this point I'm asking $3000 or best offer. Remember, the guitar has less than a months' playing time on it and would sell for $5132.00 right now.

In my opinion,Tommy's years on TNN was the best exposure great steel guitar playing ever got.Not taking anything away from Mike Johnson who played for a much smaller audience.That was steel guitars greatest hour on TV.Folks from all over could tune in 5 nites a week and hear one of the greatest in the world and it was always in the mix.That's the kind of exposure that makes people sit up, take notice and say hey, I'd like to play that instrument.

It does have Tommy's setup. I may have changed one lever, and his current setup may have changed since then. Thanks for asking.

This came from Mullen to Tommy to me. It does play like a dream. The Mullen mechanics are so precise and the pedal stops are tighter than any guitar that I have ever played.

"So many guitars, so little time"

Seriousy, I have a black P/P that really does have *the* tone (for me). I also have a Franklin w/ BL 705's. Those have been my main guitars for years and to be honest, The Mullen is so beautiful, I was always afraid of dinging it by taking it out!
