The Steel Guitar Forum

How about a computer controlled, digital changer system that can be adjusted via keyboard and compensate for any mechanical deviation and which can assign any pull to any pedal or lever and, like a keyboard, has a weighted action and aftertouch, and alters the total chopedent in the blink of a gnats eye. ??????????? any closer Ricky ????

Just make one that'll get you more work...

Whatever it is, I have a feeling I'm gonna want one.

Naw Chris, I know you to well--you won't be happy until you have two.

My email is not working again, for those wondering why I have not communicared today. Hang with me, it will hopefully be up and running tomorrow.

James i just got back on the computor after being off for about 3 weeks. Do you have any changers in the works?

Yes Jimmie, we can do changers too. Email me with your details and we can go from there.

James, do you have 'old school' fingers to upgrade the pot metal ones on my LDG?

Gerard, Yes. James

For those folks who need the old style Allen-head tuners, here ya go. These are direct replacements to what came in the the older Pro II's, LDG's, Professionals, Crossover's, ect. My rods are stainless steel 1/8" pullrods and we can make them either the allen-heads or the newer nylon tuners.

Hey James, maybe you can help me out with some info. I have misplaced the Allen wrench (for tuning changes at the changer) I got with my '74 LDG (a couple of years ago). The mechanism (two-hole pullers with barrels) is so stable that I haven't needed it for these many months, and I'm sure it'll turn up eventually, but what size Allen wrench is it?

Hey Brint, try a 5/32, that should do the trick.

Thanx!

You da man James!

Beautiful, just beautiful. Please keep it up. I just love the early Sho-Buds. Just wish I wasn't up there in years! Jay Y.

James,,I don't know whether this has been asked or not,,but do you make parts for other steels besides Sho-Buds...?

Carson, At this time, no. I'm pretty much up to my limit working the shobud goodies.

Thanx for the kind words, Danny and Jay. Much appreciated!!

Even through the tornado James and Teresa took great care of me and got my parts out. Great communication on the phone and through email. Really great folks!! They hand made parts for my old Sho-Bud S10 6139; I'm adding another floor pedal so it will be just like my other Pro 1. I'll post pics when I'm done - it might be a while. Thanks again!!!!

Just got my bellcrank order from James - very impressive work! Thanks James and Theresa - I'll be needing more things soon.

James,do you have a catalog or price list for your parts?

Jim, Thanx for your interest. Right now, It's best to contact me directly at shobud@windstream.net for the prices of what you need.

The forum PM's are hit and miss, for me. So contact me directly through my email.

Dehydrated PSG - just add water?

PSG-on-a-stick?

Great stuff, James.
Have you considered making pull rods with male fixed hex ends that could be tuned with a standard George L tuning wrench?

Hey Skip, Good idea--I'll look into it.

I want to thank James and Teresa again for helping make my guitar work so well. It's an old Sho-Bud 6139 that now has 4 floor pedals and 4 knee levers. James and Teresa are so fast at getting me the right parts that I need; I really wouldn't have been able to do this without them! Thanks again!!
