Geez.......maybe I better sell both my original S~B seats if that's what they're going for oh, that's right they never came with backs guess mine would command a lower price
Okay guys here's the story. If memory serves me right and if I am not mistaken, this seat began it's life as a Sho-Bud designed and built by the master himself Duane Marrs.Years ago,I was asked by the owner,who's name I can't remember, if I could refurbish and add a back to this vintage Sho-Bud seat. I disassembled and recovered the box and add the same metal trim and hardware used on our Steeler's Choice seats. I made a new lid and added new cushion,cloth and the Steelers Choice fine back rest. For the vintage touch I reinstalled the Sho-Bud label back in it's orginal position. If you noticed, the original dividers and interior of seat still remains as built by Sho-Bud. I can't say the price paid is good or bad,but deep down the seat really is "vintage". And now you know THE REST OF THE STORY...Thank you, Dan Rollans of Steeler's Choice steel guitar seat co. www.steelerschoice.com
Hey Dan,
Good to hear from you.
I did notice the interior being different, but I did see "Steeler's Choice" all over the exterior. Thanks for the great explanation.
As Mikey stated, if the buyer is happy, It was a great deal.
Thanks again to you and Ken for continuing to build the finest Steel Seat available today!
I have an old pack seat around here. I think it an old Jack Seat and and old Emmons tag . Maybe I could get 450.00 for it by listing it as an Emmons Push Pull Pack Seat.

Is this a service that you offer, to refurbish old Sho-Bud seats and upgrade them to your specs?
Also, can you sell a set of legs separately?
Once more... Would you build a special color combination seat?
Thanks,
God Bless,
