Deep end plates, controls, pedals in the middle of the guitar and kind of an out of sequence ser.#. I've read that numbers in that range were lost.
Comments?

Thanks Crow,
I must have missed this first time around. I wonder if the Texas Star fretboard was a backlash from the religious, anti-gambling folks?

This Sho-Bud is very similar to my first steel, pedals in the middle, vol, tone and switch on the apron, three and two and two-tone to boot! I added 2 floor pedals, to the left of the three that are there now, and two (left) knee levers to mine with Shot Jackson's help. It could be used as a E9 or C6 guitar that way. It was heavy when completed ( I used all original SB parts) but played and sounded great. I'm sure it's still knocking around somewhere in So. Cal. I can't tell from the pics what the pedals/ knee levers are doing. Looks like he had his own thing going. To make it a versatile instrument, you'd have to add some knees and at least move the floor pedals to the left. Adding two more floors seemed to make sense to me, at least at that time. I bought mine used in 1972 and it was at least a year or two old at that time. Maybe I'm kinda out of touch with the market but $1400 seems a little high to me, in view of what it needs to become a usable professional instrument. It's a very, very clean example.
