Saw the pix of the Sho-Bud that's for sale here on the SGF. Couldn't help but notice the cracked end plate.
Was that caused by cabinet DROP?
After many years of being curious, after nearly a dozen trips to prominant national steel guitar shows,
I got my first opportunity last week to actually play three different models/years of Sho-Bud steel guitars.
I found them to be really nice.......but over the years, I've constantly been 'warned' about the inferior pedal systems.
WHY might that be? |

| My first experience with cabinet drop occurred about 15 years ago. A friend had his pedal steel set up on it's legs in the back of a mini-van. His wife made a quick trip to the store and when she got back the screws were stripped on both end-plates. The sides of the cabinet were made of partical board and couldn't stand the pressure of going around corners on 2 wheels. He brought it to me, even tho I had never even touched a pedal steel before, and asked me to fix it. I drilled out the screw holes and glued in some birch dowels, cut them off flush, drilled some pilot holes and put it back together. I don't remember the brand, but it had a 25" scale. |

The warnings (personally I wouldn't warn so much as caution) stem from the changer being a touch primitive.
By modern standards they feel clunky.
Whatever. It's the price you pay for Sho-Bud tone. If had the cash, I'd pay it.
Of course some folks sell modernized Buds, ISTR Bobbe had one for 13K.
(And some folks mistakenly call R&B "single raise, single lower", giving the impression of limitations, when the number of pulls per string is limited only by the number of crossroads/racks)

Rack and barrel -- the TRUE universal changer.
