Thought you might enjoy these. I will repost if/when I get some better pics. This is a 1959 2x8 with two pedals on one neck.

Tele:
That would be the one. It originally belonged to Thelma O'Boyle (anyone know of her?).

Beautiful guitar! Mine is a 1956 and very similar in construction, it would appear. I do have a question tho': I noticed you legs have twist-screw leg extension locks. Mine doesn't have. I do have wing nuts to affix my pedal changer bar to the legs. Were those original in 1959? I had the twist to tighten leg locks. Mine sounds as great today as it did in 1956. Many a mile on it; many a great tune played on it. Still an eye catcher. Keep your eyes on it and don't let it out of your sight. Take care.

Mike......you're right! Not that I doubted you for even a split second. Dratt! This getting old and forgetful is terrible to do business with. I had to go look and sure enough, there they are. Oh well...forgive me. I'll give up trying to know anything about something or another.
