Fender Triple Neck
I have a few before and after pics of the start of a rebuild of s early 1950's Fender Triple neck. All three trapazoid pickups work, I have some body work to due and not sure what color to paint. I kind of wonder if it was a early Fender body that had 4 feet and was sitting in the factor and than turned into a 3 legger. The three leg holes have factory paint in them. Just puting it out there, not sure of anything with this Steel. I will need one tuner pan and tuners to put this back playable.

Re: Fender Triple Neck
Probably the very same guitar! That is so cool! I have owned 9 Fender steels and 5 old Rickenbackers. I always try to find out the history of the instruments and always have some up with nothing.
