 Is this a legit brand? I never heard that name before.

| I think this is the guitar I bought from Gordon. Can you tell me more about the history? Also do you have the missing knee levers? |

I was communicating with the seller but never bought it, so no I don't have the knee levers. I wasn't able to find much info on that obscure brand. I think he might have sent me more photos.....

Are you in the Bay Area? What are you trying to figure out? Maybe I can help. I'm an hour north of the Golden Gate Bridge.

The late Ed Naylor built Pedasonic guitars back in the 60's or early 70's. The bodies were fiberglass molds. Of course this one has a wood body but may have been built by Ed when he had his shop in Portsmouth, Ohio. I would like to see the undercarraige and I could could tell if Ed built it. He did own the Pedasonic name at one time and may still have up to the time of his passing.

Thank you. I read a little about Ed on this forum and I feel glad to have a Pedesonic.
It appears that a few knee levers have been removed? I see some holes where something was mounted. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Looking at the undercarraige I would say this was built by Ed when he was in Portsmouth, Ohio. Ed had parts for everything made!!! I see Sho~Bud and ZB parts on there. Clean her up and play it!!!

My first thought was a homemade guitar. I noticed what appeared to be a Sho-Bud changer housing and knee lever. Didn't really equate the rod bars as ZB (ZB equivalent of a bell crank) until you mentioned it. Ed was a good guy, for sure.
