This guitar is in excellent condition. Serial number 10! It includes 3 legs and professionally installed sockets from Steel Guitar Nashville. The legs are mounted in the fashion of a single neck Stringmaster. This is a superb guitar with excellent tone, and sustain. $1000/OBO, buyer pays shipping.

Pictures added. One shows some surface scratching on the back. I think it looks worse in the picture than it does in person.

Gibson, what is the scale length and string spacing.
Does the string spacing taper or is it parallel?

Rick, I've had two of these guitars. The spacing at the nut is 5/16ths and the bridge is 7/16ths. The scale length is 24 1/4.

Man, those leg sockets look factory! Bobbe does know his stuff, doesn't he? Precision fit!

This guitar is sold. A donation is on the way.

Curt, you made me realize that the wording in my original post may have been misleading. The legs and sockets ARE from Bobbe but they were installed here locally in Missoula by a luthier/tech who does top notch work. I did check with the buyer to make sure he understands, and is OK with the leg/socket install history. Thanks for the note!
