I have a steel guitar junky friend who is visiting us from Oklahoma and we are having a disagreement discussion about Buddy Emmons' original connection with Shot Jackson and the Sho-Bud steel guitar.

My friend insists that Buddy and Shot were in a full partnership in making the original Sho-Buds but, from the info I have read, it seems that Buddy Emmons was only an adviser for Shot in the design and sound of the original Sho-Buds.

Can someone give us the low-down on the facts on this one, one way or the other?

Thanks Darrell, you settled our disagreement quite amicably. It's great to read up on how things started and who was involved in the design.

I had one of the first Sho-Bud's in 1957 (D-8 w/5-pedals). Buddy built the guitar and Shot did the undercarriage!
