Jimy Day recorded an album with "The Monster" Sho-Bud steel guitar and at the time, it was the newest guitar Shot had built.

..Before this guitar was built for Jimmy...Sho-Bud made other single neck versions of the guitar tuning Shot refers to as "The Monster" It has mandolin style strings which had separate tuners but were hooked onto a single finger for pulling....On the single necks I played, never owned, only having one pedal tuner and two keyed tuners was a seriously flawed design which caused impossible pedal tuning. Two unison strings pulling the same distance does not equate to them being in tune with the pedals down... Although I loved its sound, at least on the two single necks I tried to tune, it was not possible to get them in tune enough to get through a single song... I believe Walter Haynes is on a cut somewhere with one...I don't know of any songs Jimmy ever released has that mandolin stringed tuning on it..

Shot said it clearly, It was a "new tuning" and he said it was the first "Double Neck" with the "Monster Tuning" on one of its necks.....I believe the single neck versions were built first.

Here's a thread about a single neck like Paul was talking about and a close up of the changer that Chas Smith had:

Seems to me I heard this played on an old Dottie West ballad years ago. It really sounded terrific. Nowadays, couldn't this effect be duplicated electronically in a stomp box?

It's a haunting sound, with that slightly out-of-tune sound and the octave lower "harmonic sound".

Buddy Charleton used it here:

Buddy Emmons also used it on "Maiden's Prayer":
(go to 18:50 on this album to hear it - but listen to the entire album for some great Emmons stuff!)
