At a time when many players were experimenting with coat hangers and welding rods to bend strings, Shot Jackson was doing professional quality modifications on Fender console steels.
The single pedal ( sourced from a dragster builder ) could change a 1 chord to a 4 by pushing "pins"up through the tuning pan.
Can be played both sitting and standing with longer rod.
What began in a backyard shed in Madison TN evolved to the Sho Bud pedal steels we love.
