Thank you for the info. The first 2 have been in their original cases for probably 20 plus years now. I know he bought the blonde one new in 1970 when Shobud was on Broadway. The other 2 he bought new as well but I don't know when, as far as I know all 3 are just like he bought them originally. Thank you for your info. |

My condolences Mrs. Brown.
To those (forum members) that may know can you identify the type Sho Bud that are pictured? For instance, is picture two a crossover? If Mr Brown got this in Nashville we’re some crossovers made there? Or is this a permanent? These things will help for pricing. I assume the green one is. Lloyd Green mode. Picture one … that one is a????

Sorry for your loss Mrs. Brown -
First picture is a Professional, next is a Crossover model, and of course a LDG. All appear to be in great shape. My first steel was a "Baldwin" Crossover. When set up and in good working condition they sound great.
You shouldn't have any problem finding homes for these guitars! _________________ Best lyric in a country song: "...One more, Moon..." |

Yes Bonnie; my brother "Kenny Davis" and friend Marco; gave "spot on info". and I agree.
First is a '72-ish Sho~Bud Professional; it was the new very popular model right after the "Baldwin Crossover" deal expired about 1970 as it only lasted a few years. So that 2nd pic is indeed last year of the "Crossover Model"(crossover means a lever on back apron that would cross the pedals and knee lever between both neck tunings) and very nice natural blonde color.
3rd pic very nice Sho~bud LDG; that is the Lloyd Green model that came out 1973; but Lonnie's was built later in the 1980's.
Professional> $2000.00 to 2500.00
Crossover> $1500.00 to 1800.00
LDG> $2500.00 to 2800.00
So sorry Lonnie is not with us anymore; and he LOVED Sho~bud Pedal Steels; Bless his Soul.

Thanks to everyone for the help with this....I think the Professional may have found a home locally, so I'll "steel" get to see it being played.....I'm just going to say it's pending right now. The LDG, I will probably end up keeping since that's the one he played during our 18 years. You guys have been awesome in your response but then "steelers" have always been a great bunch !!!
Thanks again...
Bonnie |
