I'm selling my Sho-Bud Lloyd Green Model pedal steel guitar. This guitar has an standard emmons set up, equipped with three pedals and FIVE knee levers. It is in near mint condition and meticulously maintained, cared, and serviced. Never gigged, by myself or the previous owner. The guitar still has the green lacquer hue that frequently turns to brown or amber in barroom environments. This guitar was used sparingly, and for studio work only.
This is the pedal steel that sets the baseline and comparison for all other steel guitars. While you may have heard others say it sounds "as good as" a Lloyd Green. This is the REAL DEAL. I bought it from the second owner who bought the guitar from Bobbe Seymours Pedal Steel Guitar shop in Nashville . That is all I know about the history. However, two years ago I received a phone call asking me if I was in possession of a Lloyd Green serial number 17080 pedal steel guitar. I responded that I never even checked the serial number, but yes, I have a LDG pedal steel. The caller said that it was a very special guitar, and then hung up. There was no caller ID to trace.
If you have never owned or played one of these prized Sho-Bud's you should put it on your bucket list. It is classic Nashville, back when Nashville was Nashville, and steel guitars were the predominate instrument in intros, fills, and turnarounds and solos. It was the time before synthesizers. The time before Rascal Flatts and Lady Attebellum.
Listed below is a biography on Mr. Green, his design of the LDG Sho Bud, and discography of some of his recordings.

Also listed below is a link to one of the most famous recordings of Mr. Green. I think it best expresses him as a musical stylist. Yes, he can play jazz, swing, pop or whatever, but this recording is Lloyd Green, his style and his instrument. My favorite song. period.
