He has a used Triple Neck Steelmaster for sale.
Natural Wood Clear Finish, 24 1/4" scale.

Herb only makes about 12 per year, so there aren't too many of these in existance.
This guitar is in beautiful condition, and there's no waiting -

Bargain Price!

Seeing Howard's fantastic Steelmaster here has certainly got my interest. What would the case & legs be like? Send me a quote by e-mail. I'd appreciate that.

I'm glad to see that Herb will also build a 10 string. I am very intrigued by this.

Howard, are the string separations closer on the 10 vs. the 8?? How is it with slant's & reverses?? I would imagine a 2 string slant/reverse is OK, what about 3 strings?
Are the extra 2 strings on top? Maybe I should'nt think so hard....Hmmmm..."Hard work is not easy"...TX

The guitar in the pic is not the one that's for sale - that's Howard's guitar, and it does kind of look like oak.

I have no problem with 2 or 3 string slants. I stink equally on both.

Incidentally, my new Steelmaster is poplar - a lot of people like it . .
Poplar is known for taking paint well, and it sure does look terrific. It sounds great, too - in fact IMO it sounds better than my D8 Steelmaster which is ash. So there!

Well, I haven't heard from Herb yet - so this guitar must still be available!

Thanks for the reassuring information and the advice. I had an impression of a 10 string separation being especially tight..practice, practice, pratice..ehh...TX

I just returned from the MSA room where we had a sneak preview of the new MSA lap steels. Way cool, but that's another thread.

Maurice Anderson played the 12 string lap steel. I can't begin to tell you the calibre of his playing and he was doing slants up and down the neck. That 12 string spacing is very narrow and he was doing forward and reverse slants with such finese and accuracy. He is know as a foremost pedal steelist, but he is a master of non pedal and a master of slanting.
