None of them came from the factory with knee levers. However you could have extra pedals installed upon request. I have a 2000 and am learning that installing knee levers is probably not going to be that difficult.

Unless this a newer model...say post 1972, I'm not too sure if it's a straight Fender, or a Fender-Sho-Bud. And I wouldn't know for sure what the model name for that would be.

Here is the breakdown as far as I recall:

The first Fender PSG ever made was a 1000; D-8 with 8 pedals; up to 10 pedals could be ordered.

The second one was a 400, S-8 with 4 pedals; up to 10 pedals could be ordered. (My fist PSG was one of these ordered with 6 pedals).

Both models were single raise/single lower systems and came with the ability to have one or two changes per pedal. Optional slave loop cables could be purchased to increase the number of pulls per pedal.

A few years later they came out with a new design and they issued two standard models, the 800, an S-10 with 6 pedals AND a 2000, D-10 with 10 pedals. The 800's could be ordered with up to 10 pedals.

They were both double raise/double lower changers.

The big design change on these babys was the moving bridge (sho-bud type) changer, that drastically cut down on the premature fixed bridge string breakage problem, of the 400's and 1000's.

When the 800's and 2000's were introduced, they had the black surround aluminum frame; instead of the polished aluminum frame, the sunburst finish; and had cast black pedals, instead of the chrome stamped steel pedals.

They followed shortly making the 400's and 1000's with these same color and cast features.

Again, if my memory surves me right, they discountinued the 400's and 1000's not too long after the 800's and 2000's were introduced. Sadly, it was not long before Fender stopped making steel guitars all together and this included even lap steels.

Thanks Carl and everyone.I'd still like to get more ideas as to what it's worth.It does however have 2 homemade knee levers. That's all the info I have at this time...........bb

I would take a guess that over 1200 10 string
800's were manufactured during that time I was still with Fender and in the 1970's Fender decided to stop producing most all steel guitars and related products.
