Some of you Older Sho Bud owner may be able to tell me how old this guitar is. I looked for a Number but did not see one. But the pedal are tuned buy a set of finger nut at the rear of the changer. A row of nut for the lowers and another set for the raise.
It does not tune with any kind of tool, only by the finger nuts. |

I may have found it. Al Brisco was in a picture, playing a finger tuner guitar and it
was a 1966 model the writer said. was that the only year they were made? |

| I believe that they were in production for 2-3 years. |

| According to Duane Becker´s article, the first ones even date back to 1963. I sure do hope to get hold of one of them someday. |

I sure wouldn't want to get ahold of one of these things! I had one and nothing but trouble to keep it in tune. I traded it off and Al Udeen got ahold of it and the last time he e-mailed me, he got rid of it because of the same problem. Just cause a pedal steel is old doesn't make it good! Why do you think they changed? 
Uff-Da! |
