This is a 77 Sho Bud with 2 knees on the right .
I'm wanting to have the
2 left knees added to make it a 3x4 & have some slack adjustments made.
How can I get in touch with Jeff Surratt

Thanks

In addition to my Sho-Bud Crossover, which is by far my favourite pedal steel, I also have this Fender/Sho-Bud Hybrid, which is a Fender pedal steel built by Sho-Bud.
Image
Unlike other Fender pedal steels, which are cable machines, this guitar is pure Sho-Bud. Only the tuner pan and Fender logo. show it to be a Fender.
