| What I'm referring to is the Sho Bud Fingertip that Lloyd Green used and whatever the ZB model is that Tom Brumley used. I've heard comments about what problematic mechanical issues that these two steels had, yet, I would love to own one of these steels just to get those golden tones. Are the mechanical issues worth the tone??? |

Hey Kevin... I really like the look of that two tone model with the early ZB logo on your web page. It looks just as fancy as an old Sho-Bud!

I started out on pedal steel with a Sho~Bud fingertip.
Never really cared for the "mechanics".  |

While I too would love to play any of the great recording guitars of yesteryear it would be for purely historical reasons, I like my own guitars just fine.
On the other hand, if it's being able to produce tone like Mr. Green and Mr. Brumley that you want then I recommend that you go out and find a good guitar of a similar make, year and model of whatever guitar you think "has it." Clean it up right, set it up right, sit down behind it and learn its ways. The rest is solely up to you: The choices you make with your head and what you do with your hands and feet. There's nothing more and nothing less to it, there's lots of guitars that can produce really fabulous tone but not so very many hands that know how to use them so well.... |
