The Steel Guitar Forum

Fair enough, thanks Johnie!

Johnie, is the Sho Bud fretboard still available? If so I will take it.

Thanks Craig, and thanks to the person who messaged me. I brought it to a buddy's house yesterday and he happens to be a minor sho bud guru. Posting the solution here for anyone who might stumble on this thread in The future. When I reinstalled the bracket for the helper springs, I installed it back...

Also, as a note, this happens on BOTH the b>c# changes on the fifth string. the A pedal and the C pedal.

Hi Friends, I'm hoping someone here can discover where I have gone wrong here. I have read all of the wealth of threads I can find on similar topics, including Ricky Davis's many excellent comments on similar threads. And yet I can't seem to find anyone with a similar issue. I'm hoping that is becau...

Thanks Terry, very interesting! Yeah I was just wondering because it seems like a great price for a guitar like that. If I had the funds I would do it.

Can someone explain why no one has purchased this yet? Weight?

ttt I'm hoping there's someone here who can help me track these down. psgparts.com is sold out. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi friends, I'm hoping someone out there has five or six brass barrels for a sho bud I'm restoring. Many thanks for your help.

Sold on another site. Please close

Hi Michael, according to my bathroom scale - the accuracy of which I can't vouch for - somewhere right around 45 lbs all-in.

Now $1600 Here's my BMI for sale because I've gotten a new guitar and can't afford to have two. I'm not exactly sure on the date, but Don Fritsche at BMI estimates it's from the 90s based on the milled out endplate. I bought this in 2020 from Jack Goodson, who was very helpful and really kind and ge...

Thank you! It does appear to be a frankenstein sort of guitar. I like it though so I will take it. Appreciate the help.

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me learn a little bit about this guitar. This belongs to a friend who is an accomplished luthier and lap steel player but who doesn't play with pedals as much. He's offered to sell it to me. He says he believes it is a Sho Bud LDG but doesn't know anything else about ...

I bring several different styles of footwear along with my guitar for exactly this reason. Glad I'm not the only one.

OK, I'm gonna be blunt. IMHO, if you have $1500 to spend, don't screw around with old starter guitars. As pedal steels , they are marginal at best. Yes, you can learn the rudiments on them, but why not start with a professional level instrument, or at least a solid, modern, entry-level instrument? ...

I have a Carter Starter 3x4 I was hoping to unload. It's a little controversial on this forum and does indeed have the famous lkl issues that have been discussed at length elsewhere on here. Supposedly it's an easy fix but I don't use that knee lever often enough to have bothered. That said, it's be...
