: Hi,
I bought same fender 400 yesterday and tried to follow fender , mr gearhead website manual to tune it.I broke string and would really like anyone who knows how to tune 8 string and perhaps the guages of strings to buy as Ireland not relyy pedal steel country.
I imagine there is a pedal missing on this one and i also seem to have one steel line underneath snaped.Any help or links/phone no etc gratefully appreciated

: I've thought, I have a Fender 400, too, but - why does my instrument has only 4 pedals?
: : Am new to Steel, played the guitar 35 years, but always loved that sound. Lookin at an old fender 400 with 8 pedals, you long time players out there: Is this a good starter instrument? and do the old Steel guitars of collector value like the old Fenders I see for sale?
: : Just wanderin if Im buyin an unplayable relic, or somthin with an old sweet story to tell.... Regard all. Ken
