Perfect For Restoring: Fender Stringmaster T10 (Triple-Neck 10-String) Fender Stringmaster D10 (Double-Neck 10-String) Early Fender 1000 & 2000 Pedal Steel Guitars Key Features & Vintage Authenticity Markers:
The Chrome Tray: Deeply stamped on the front face with the classic cursive Fender logo and PAT. NO. 2838974. The reverse underside features the authentic, mirrored factory casting script imprint. The Tuner Strips: Includes a matching pair of unbroken, original 5-on-a-plate tuner strips. These are highly sought after by builders because they are rarely found intact.
The Era Markers: The ribbed gear covers feature the iconic "Double-Line" Kluson Deluxe stamping (Kluson down the left side, Deluxe down the right), pinning the manufacture date securely between 1964 and 1968.
Condition Report: This assembly is in good, solid vintage condition, but in need of cleaning and oiling. The chrome pan shows typical cosmetic wear for a 60-year-old part, including oxidation, surface pitting, and light rust spots inside the troughs (please study the photos carefully). The chrome still holds a nice, clean reflective shine on the face. Mechanically, the 5-on-a-plate strips are structurally excellent. The baseplates are completely flat, the original oval metal buttons are firmly attached to their shafts, and the tuner posts are straight and unbent. The gears turn smoothly. Please review all uploaded photos carefully as they serve as the primary visual description. Sold as-is for vintage part restoration. Item will be packed securely and shipped promptly with tracking. Thanks for looking!
