Lloyd's guitar is still almost all original Shot-Buddy parts. I asked him this specific question just a week or so ago. My '73 LDG that Ricky fixed up is simply an amazing instrument!

<SMALL>"Basically, the Zums, JCHs and similar guitars are simply Emmons Legrande clones! Think about it!</SMALL>
Every guitar maker has made his mark on the development of the steel, but if you are talking about a pedal steel that was designed to provide an all pull with an Emmons PP sound, then most guitars sold today are Franklin clones. IMHO Paul got it right the first time.

Of all my guitars, & I have several, my Franklin sounds closest to Sho-Bud

Well, that settles it for me! Next question, please...
Here's how you can tell if a guitar actually sounds like an Emmons: Look at the left corner of the front apron.

Take a look at Bobbe Seymour's video sometime that he made where he looks at a number of different makes of steel guitar. He says that both Emmons and Sho-Bud are great sounding guitars - period. That says it all.
Eric West - I am intrigued to know which manufacture of steel guitar causes you not to ever want to play any of its models. Perhaps you could send me an email to satisfy my curiosity.
