Emmons string machine (I believe that's what it was called). It had 3 pickups you could swing over certain strings. They fed into a box that would create string sounds, using a fuzz tone (if memory serves me correctly).
Carter D10 8p/7k, Dekley S10 3p/4k C6 setup, Regal RD40 Dobro, Recording King Professional Dobro, NV400, NV112, Ibanez Gio guitar, Epiphone SG Special (open G slide and regular G tuning guitar) .

Playing for 55 years and still counting.
