A ’73 Sho Bud Pro 1 3 Pedals 1 Knee Lever Serial#4330 Model 6139 round front from the early 70s Grovers tuners on a Gumby headstock… Wider pedals, Baskets and barrels string pulls. Very simplistic and dependable mechanics. It's outstanding feature is it's ability for "infinite" raises ...

Does somebody actually make knee lever kits for the 400. I've rigged up rather primitive single RKL but if there is something more pro that would be great

Where is the best place for either video or diagram description for the adjusting, tuning, general maintaining of the Rack and Barrel system. I have a 6139 3X1 Also I've been wanting to add knee levers ever since I got this guitar. Best place to order parts?? The names Jeff Surrat and John Coop came...

My "day job" is a letter carrier for the Postal Service. Not only was Buddy a famed picker in the Green Bay area....but he was one of my mail customers a ways back. We would talk from time to time and we swapped CD's of our music. A real nice fella for sure. We'll miss ya Buddy!

Kids, I'm sorry, I just plain gave up on the C6 neck. The guitar is gone but I came upon some strings. I have 16 sets of the GHS Boomers for the C6 neck. that I will sell for 9.00 a set plus postage.

Figure postage at:
1 set...1.39
2 sets..1.73
3 sets..2.24
4 sets..2.58
5 sets or more 3.00

HELP!!!!
A falling mic stand knocked the head off one of my tuners
Does ANYONE have individual replacement grovers to match a early 70's Sho Bud Pro 1 like this... 2nd string

But wait!!! There's more....

No never mind there couldn't possibly be more.

Here's more of the underside...I did the measuring and if the three had been moved, the previous position would have been dead center. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix/5110_IMG_27071_1.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix/5110_IMG_2726_1.jpg http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix/5110_IM...

So now I have this Sho-Bud in my possession. I see drill holes that indicate iy had 3 more pedals (still just the one knee)at one point in time... Three more pedals and one more question for the Bud afficionados. Did they ship these with 6/1 set up or was it an add on at some point in time. Does thi...

Here's what the bottom looks like... I paid 1400...Did I do alright?? I really appreciate the knowledge base of the forum members...Thanks. Dana

What kind of info can you give me on this one? I've been told it's a '73. Any other fine points?? Grovers, Gumby, Wider pedals, Info on pick up? Has one knee...where can I go for additional knees??

You guys are breakin' my heart!! I'm missing it already and I haven't even boxed it up yet!!!

It appears this steel is bound for the "windy city" pending the cash across the barrel. Thanks to those who expressed an interest, and yes it is 8 pedals/5 knee levers...not 10 pedals as I posted....It was late..how many fingers am I holding up?!?

b0b, A tip to the forum will follow

I've come to terms with the fact that I will not make good use of the C6th neck and have decided to sell my 1968 ZB Custom serial #1132 It has several bar dings (mostly between the necks)but the beautiful inlay on the front more than makes up! 10 pedals 5 knee levers Tone is GREAT and overall condit...
