Congratulations, Bruce. I'm sure you will love it!!



This is a pic of my 1970 "lefty" Fulawka, first left hander Eddie ever built. Brazillian rosewood aprons and neck with a maple top. Ed was still living in Toronto when he built this steel. Don't have any good pics of my 2001 model yet!

Beautiful.

Hi Bruce:
That is one beautiful lookin' guitar! Out of curiousity what kind of wood did you choose?

Hi Dennis
The wood is Bird's Eye Maple
Eddy had it shipped up from N.B

That really is beautiful, Bruce. Is it just the photo or did he absolutely nail the color match with your 'Bud?

hi john,we didn't try to match the sho-bud but
when i got the guitar home they were very close in color,pretty cool eh?<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Bruce Snow on 13 January 2003 at 05:40 AM.]</p></FONT>

That´s a real beauty for sure, Bruce. Two curiositys: Four pedals looks like an extended E9, would you care to post some info about your tuning?
And, what kind of ShoBud is that?

Regards, Joe H.

Hi Joe
My guitars are both Emmons set up pretty much.
I raise the first,second and seventh on a knee lever, and the fourth pedal lowers the five six and ten whole tone.
I also raise my tenth string on my c pedal, and raise my ninth string up to an E.
My Sho-bud "Old Hickory" is a rare guitar There's only been a few built as far as I know. They have a wraparound changer mounted on pill blocks unlike the regular Sho-bud.
It is also a great sounding guitar and plays extremly well.
