Here's my "Sho-Bud" SD12 up for sale. Please note that this was NOT built in ShoBud Factory so should be considered a well built "Partscaster".
The guitar is basically in the condition I got it 15 +- yrs ago (Very Good) except for me adding a new lambskin leather pad and a Jerry Wallace TruTone. Was Ext E9 when I got it, converted to C6 (modified), but pretty easy to change/test copedents/setups. Be happy to answer any questions. *** Please Note: I CANNOT physically ship this guitar so the sale has to be Local Pickup. Come inspect, play and purchase, $1300 Cash or o.b.o. ***

Well I have a good idea what this Pedal Steel guitar is; but this is YOUR Sale and it's not polite for me to put up info on your post. You can email me questions and I have probably the answer(s)(there's no proof of answers really; from Sho~bud history; other than some stuff Gene Haugh has on serial numbers and credits; but I've spoken to Shot Jackson; Duane Marrs; Paul Franklin Sr....etc in my years of search for some answers).

| Hi Ricky, So nice of you to comment. Please feel free to elaborate here as much or as little as you'd like. Can't think of anyone more knowledgeable in the Sho-Bud realm, and over the years your contributions to SGF are always greatly appreciated. |

OK;
Hey Len; yeah certainly this could be some handiwork from Seymour or there about; but here’s a normal description of this steel and certainly Seymour’s shop was later there in Madisonville/Nashville and this steel could of made it that way later.
So basically this is a Homemade body and the parts do look Sho-Bud made(casted and no pre-drill for headstock…etc. and those are “Stickers†on the outside for “Sho~bud and “LDG†as you can see some of the Shobud sticker has peeled away…ha….because originally they are “Water Decals†under Lacquer and these are NOT and of course; Any “LDG†with “MODEL†under should be per endorsement Emerald Green or should have “SP†for special paint if not meeting endorsement. I think this is another pedal steel made by a assembler at Sho-bud that of course is a musician(on road break) and he took “PAY†per parts; which they did do that for musicians if they wanted; but they had to build it away from shop…ha…
Also 12-string was never considered in the “LDG MODEL†endorsement made. But calling this a “LDG†in the fact that is the style; single neck on double frame; is certainly fine by me for description…ah…ha.
After looking through all the photos(thanks Len); this is a WELL put together SD-12 and I don't see ANY reason this doesn't play and sound AWESOME....especially with my Late friend and Sho~bud pickup design partner Jerry Wallace; who made that special 12-string TrueTone Pickup.....WOW.
