    I believe the same model Teisco in the Goodwill auction is mentioned in a forum here... https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=107031

    Here are TWO new lap-steel listings (5/5) on ShopGoodwill... First is a Teisco with twin, 8-string necks. Teisco instruments were made in Japan, and the brand was at its peak in the 1960’s. Teisco offered both instruments and amps, at prices well-below Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, or...

    FYI: John, (seller of the Gibson lap-steel in Omaha/Florence), is an OK guy - but lists music gear at very inflated prices. He received so much flack about his pricing on Craigslist, he now mainly uses "Offer-up" to avoid Craigslist negativity. I haven't purchased anything from John in 4+...

    The Omaha Goodwill lap-steel auction closed on 4/19. The ad listings I mentioned in April for both the Fender pedal-steel in Fremont and Gibson lap-steel in Omaha remain online, as of 5/2. Did you end-up buying something else, or are you still in-the-market for a pedal-steel / lap-steel?

    Here is a new Craigslist post (04/23) for a single-neck, 8-string Fender Pedal-Steel in Fremont. I am not familiar with the seller, or current prices on this instrument, however. Good Hunting! https://omaha.craigslist.org/msg/d/fremont-fender-string-pedal-steel-guitar/7311403952.html

    Thanks for posting the string-benders from Mr. Certano. Arguing with Frenchmen on technology can get dicey!

    I doubt ShopGoodwill.com encourages bidders to inspect auction-items beforehand, but most of their Omaha online inventory is at the 72nd & F warehouse. Here's a vintage Gibson lap-steel, with twin 8-string necks, case and detachable legs. I've bought gear from John (the seller) before. His...

    Unfortunate the pedal-steel in Council Bluffs was in such rough shape. It is sold now... probably to someone looking for a shop-project, more than a working instrument. Here is an auction for a vintage, triple-neck, lap-steel in Omaha. No pedals obviously... but has the convenience of 3...

    The pedal-steel guitar I mentioned in Council Bluffs remains for-sale on Facebook Marketplace, as of 4/9. Figured you've checked it out in-person by now. If so, did the guitar turn-out to be in poor condition, or missing key parts? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/220605756522175/

    Here's a recent (3/27) Facebook Marketplace post for a pedal steel in Council Bluffs. I don't have any details about the seller or this particular instrument, however. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/220605756522175/
