| The picture Chris posted is of a round (Spanish) neck Sho-Bro The square neck models usually featured a flat metal fretboard white in color with the familiar Sho-Bud card symbol fret position markers |

I had one of those about 30 years ago which was a 7 string version. I had the regular Dobro G tuning on strings 1,2,3,5,6,& 7. The 4th string was tuned to an E note so it was like a G6th tuning. I was needing an electric guitar so I traded it to a music store for a Telecaster. I wish I hadn't done that as the Tele's been gone a long time and I'd still probably have the ShoBro. I remember that mine was larger than most Dobros and had a pretty loud sound. I think I got it from Blackie Taylor's store in the late sixties and that's probably where it went back to but those days are kinda fuzzy at times....JH in Va.

| There was one in a music store near me a month ago It was a square neck with the white Sho Bud fret board six string. i would have got it but the neck looked like a banna and they wanted $700 for it. It sounded good though. |

| Apparently bowing of the neck was an issue with some Sho-Bros-I have seen both round and square neck models with this problem-The wider than standard size body was taken from the "Norwood Chimes" Dobro model that featured the jumbo size body |
