The E9th neck had 11 strings. Tom added a low E to help him be able to play Telecaster like fills when Don was singing with Buck. Listen to Act Naturally on the Live At Carnegie Hall album.
You can see him use it at the very end of the song. He could play without anything, (levers and such), i'm sure, but he was such an expert on that instrument.
The best. Tom part of famous Bakersfield sound, Buckaroos with Buck. No one ever better. So smooth. RIP.
Beautiful! 🥰

Never seen a 12 string and 10 string neck on the same steel before… it’s making my head sore just watching.
