I am helping a friend in checking interest for a guitar he found and wishes to sell. It is a Sho-Bud Baldwin Crossover (1970?) in working condition. He is a guitar player who got it as part of a business deal and has no use for it as such. He is willing to discuss reasonable offers.

Is the owner willing to ship the crossover, and/or where is it located.? Can anyone confirm the availability of new stickers for it? Might make for a fun project. Interested to see where you land on a price. Thanks, Ryan.

Who knows, the way pedal steel prices have gone obscene.

Looks like 8 + 1 like most of the x-overs were. The case looks like one of the original rounded ones, but it looks really rough. Can't see enough of it to know if it's even servicable.

The guitar looks beat on the finish and cabinet.

IMO, a most generous fair price for this one would be $1500 on the high side provided the electronics and crossover mech works and it plays like it should.

More than I would pay, but in today's prices that's my estimate.

I sold a near mint one of these for $750, but that was nearly 20 yrs. ago. Asking prices have at least doubled, maybe tripled since then.

If it were mine, having minimum investment in it, I'd be tickled to death to see $1000 for it.

Agree with Mr. Overstreet. I would see $1000 as optimistic. More realistic $600.
I bought a near mint. crossover from forum member Mr. George King for $1000 last year.

Crossovers were 6 & 1. The card suits and logo were decals under the lacquer.

Yeah, six and one was what I meant to write.

Cast iron frame I believe. Positive thing is the Rack and Barrel mechanics.

I bought one new in 1971. It had Grover "milk bottle" style square pearloid tuning keys. I had a second knee added. It sounded good, but it was heavy even for a 18 year old!

What's the serial number? I think most of the ones that have wood surrounding the changer were from late '67 to end of '68. It's a Sho~Bud, so all bets are off, haha.

I think they are pretty cool guitars. If someone wanted to play non-pedal, but with a few helpful changes, this is THE guitar to do that with.

I defeated my crossover mechanism and use 3 pedals and one knee on the front neck and the other four pedals on the back neck. If you want standard Gnashville E9, you won't like this guitar. C6 with 6 and 1, E13 with a few interesting changes...yes, very cool.

It will be a hard sell at $1500, probably. But it really does have "the tone."

The frame was an aluminum/magnesium alloy.

It was my first SB that I bought new in 1968 from George Lewis at SB for $1300. I sold it to a friend in Houston for $500 in 1976 and was embarrassed to look him in the eye for several years after that. Laughing

Probably would have good tone with the famous one over one changer.
