If you invested about $1,000 in that guitar, it would easily be worth $1,000. Laughing

Seriously, the one piece "shark fin" tuning head was the first thing Shot developed, so this doesn't qualify as anything but the poorest of imitations. Almost laughable, really.

To me it looks like Sho-Bud end caps and pedals and that's all.

I like old 8-string pedal steels, but this one would just be too hard to restore. OUCH!

If these old home cobbled instruments just came with a DVD of its life showing how it was made and the places it was played and the music that was made on on it. It would have to be so interesting!
