I have replaced the makeshift case handle I had with this new one which looks better and works good so far. We are in the process of moving so things are hectic but I will try to check messages and answer questions. A bigger discount now for buyers who will pick this up so I don't have to go thru an...

Yes offers now accepted! I'm no Buddy Charlton but his legendary playing on this model Sho-Bud has been inspirational to say the least. It's hard to let go but for me, it's time. Thanks for looking.

Just to let anyone know who might be interested that this great old guitar is still for sale. I haven't been too aggressive in my efforts to sell but I'm not getting any younger and my bills are growing so I will entertain offers at this point. Just ask if you want more info or photos, thanks.

FYI Just to clarify, the switch in the middle position puts the wiring of the pickups in parallel. The output in parallel is a little less than it would be wired in series and the tone is a cleaner less muddy sound. This is all normal, neither series nor parallel wiring is "better", it all...

The guitar is still for sale, it's not a bad thing to have, but what I will do now is come down to 3450.00. I suggest if you are interested in this type of thing to snap up any good deals you may find, I see great deals on the forum here all the time. But there are only so many of these old steel gu...

Thanks Johnny, this guitar has been a real blessing in my life and I'm sure there is someone else out there that will love it as I do. I am adding the copedant it has currently but part of the historic significance of this model was that it was the first D-10 pedal steel where you could change coped...

Well as the saying goes "my loss is your gain" The time has come for me to pass this great instrument to another caretaker, I will hate to see it go but that's life. Life is also about paying bills and that is what I need to do now. Some of you may think the price a little high but when I ...

It was always accepted that having roller nuts were not best for tone but were much better for tuning issues. I would suggest not modifying your guitar unless you can get an exact replacement, (which is unlikely). These old guitars are very historic and you do not want to look back after you know mo...

I paid well over $3000.00 for my state of the art hearing aids and they suck. They tell you how high tech they are, blah, blah. They have crappy compression and EQ and feed back all the time, so they tell me that if they keep turning down the level to get rid of the feedback, then it will defeat the...

Bob made a great pickup, any of you modern players that have played out on tours have found venues in bad locations or with bad house wiring that single coil pickups hum so loud. I had to switch out the pickup in my Emmons PP because of this. Guitar players can adjust their position with the amp but...
