It's not claimed to be a Sho Bud...

A Sho Bud?

But it looks really nice, to me, anyway. Did Shot produce anything like this?

Hmmmmm.......

IF it's molded, it sure looks like it was molded to fit Sho Bud fretboard and headstock. But then again it might have been cut to fit from a solid block. I'd like to see the underside. Whoever made it sure knew what they were doing around Steels and machinery. It strikes me as being made "recently" ...or harldy ever played / handled and stored or refurbished expertly. It'll be interesting to see Others' replies about this Steel.

It also strikes me that the lower-freq headstock energy-communication with the neck (neck/body/strings energy loop) would be somewhat choked in it's design, unless the designer desired that higher-freq timbre. Were it mine (

) I would cut and clamp a substantial metal plate to the bottom of that headstock, in good contact with the neck / nut, to see what difference in conductive / resonant timbre doing so might produce.

Aloha,
