I'll never forget the first brochure I saw from Sho-Bud in the early 60s. It had a curving row of guitars starting from the top right to the lower center. I was struck by the fact that there were so many guitars. I didn't think there were that many in the world at that time. And yes, they do make some very pretty pictures !!

WOW! this is so cool. i like the red ones.
thanks for the pics. my friend had a red one and sold it to a guy in texas. this guy said he was gonna take it to europe and sell it. i would love to find it. it was a super pro II i think. it had red embossed number decals on each leg. i dont know why? it was sold with a vegas 400 that was mounted on wheels. if anyone has some info, please let me know.
thanks,
wayne

We've got several on Duane's site. I think you'll enjoy the pics.
http://www.duanesmusic.com/shobud.html
Also, if you use Netscape, you can right click on most of the pics and choose "view image" and see a larger, clearer pic.

I like to think that Sho-Bud set the reference in what a Pedal Steel should look like. You know what they say, "You can't beat a good piece of wood". It's entirely possible that many of us would also say that Sho-Bud set the reference in tone as well, but that may be subjective to personal taste and I doubt that there is a 'Steeler" on the planet who doesn't think that "E's" tone is
the reference in-itself. I like to equate the old Sho-Buds to old Fender guitars, you may not play them much but you can sure spend a lot of time just looking at them and
let your mind wander about it's history.
Here's my Professional with 1-A-3 engraved in the left end body plate.

| Tony, nice looking Sho~Bud! With your guitar setup so high, how do you keep the legs from collapsing and the pedal bar from sliding up when you hit a pedal? |

Here's a couple, the Professional was a 'basket case' I got from a pawn shop in Vegas and the Super Pro I bought new in '79, both have had a lot of mods and both have a lot of mileage on them.

Rick, it's an 11 string neck, there's a 1/16 dowel pin back up at the tuning head with an extension on the nut. The tuning is: C E G A C E G A C E G and the low C doesn't change and is used mostly for 'power chords', the E and G get the D, Eb, F and F# changes. The Danny sheilds pickup is and 11-string, the Lawrence 705 is a 10, ite missa est. quote:

Probably not, the mechanism underneith that guitar is pretty elaborate.[This message was edited by chas smith on 18 November 2001 at 02:02 PM.] |
