Jackson steel posted a couple cryptic things on their Instagram account that seem to suggest they may start making Sho-Buds?

Yes, it's true! David, Harry, and Dawn Jackson have confirmed that Sho-Bud steels will be built again, and they are now working on a new Sho-Bud website. The Jackson Website tells about it too.

I guess that maybe Gretsch sold the Sho Bud name? Back back to where it really belongs, in my opinion. Could be I suppose. I mean it wasn't doing Gretsch much good anyway.

It will be wonderful to see the ShoBud name on new pedal steel guitars, and in my opinion, these "new" Buds will be by far the finest steel guitars to bear the ShoBud name due to the refinements made on pedal steel guitars in the past few decades .. The Jacksons know how to build great pedal steel guitars, and I am really happy that the proud Shobud logo will once again be seen on new instruments built by them.. bet you will see a LOT of them on stages not long after they are available.... bob

I guess I'll have to come out of retirement and get a day job!

The possible roadblock is that the two Jackson brothers are up in age. That worries me for a classic guitar to have a lasting future.

The Jackson’s do think “out of the box” with their great ideas.

Most past manufacturers got out of the business as they aged.
