CUSTOM FESSENDEN 12 STRING PEDAL STEEL GUITAR
Richard Moffett
A tip about an auction led to my purchase of this very cool, very “in need of repair” pedal steel. It has a solid curly maple body, single neck E9th extended tuning, 8 pedals and 5 knee levers! Yes it’s way more steel than I need, but it was so much fun searching for parts (it was missing 4 pedals and rods plus all of their parts) and a case to fit it perfectly (Thank you Jerry Fessenden). The cleaning and polishing alone took over a month, then the tweaks and adjustments another 5 weeks or so and… what you see here is one of the prettiest, best playing, steels I’ve owned.
