I will consider all reasonable offers. $1,740.00 OBO plus $50.00 to cover about 1/2 of the shipping UPS Ground or pick up here in Springfield, Oregon.
Could meet within 100 miles?
Have lowered the price as the market is week and today marks a month it's been for sale.
This Sho-Bud started life in the early to mid 70’s as a D-10 Professional Model.
My friend and I took two of these D-10’s and have been turning them into four SD-10’s.

I just bought a Promat D-10 PP two months ago and have my new Mullen SD-10 G2, 5&5 has now arrived, leaving me with three pedal steels in my living room so not much room for living! Also still have my Star PSG over in Saigon. Too many.
I’m afraid it’s time to thin the herd as they say. Gotta let this one go.
Here is what you’d get in this fine PSG;
New built cabinet we made of the finest Big Leaf Quilted Maple from Oregon. Center inlay of American Bald Eagle clutching an American Flag made from Paua Abalone, White, Bronze & Gold Mother Of Pearl with Red Coral and Blue Lapis Re-Con Stone.
Blue and Black stained nitro cellulose lacquer finish. Some light checking from four cold airline flights in baggage, but not bad.
We had new end plates and keyheads cast so there are no gapping holes where the C6th neck would have been. The new cast keyheads also buff out much better than the original ones that would not get a good shine.
This guitar has 5 pedals and 4 new polished knee levers.
Copedent attached below. Very easy to change and that is the best thing about the rack and barrel pulling system, so simple and quick to change the tuning and experiment.
New lighter weight polished pedal bar that I made to help take un-needed weight off the guitar.
My intention was to put a real leather arm rest on it, but I just could not bare to loose seeing the stunning wood. It is quite comfortable without the armrest.
However I've now made a movable arm rest with very nice deep blue, very soft lambs hide. It has a rubber base so it stays in place without being attached to the guitar.
The fretboard Frets & Position Markers (Roman Numerals) I made were inlaid Abalone and Mother Of Pearl. Look nice, but was hard to see in certain low light situations (Lower Photo).
I have now overlaid that fretboard with this very nice Black & Polished Silver fretboard that I made and is very easy to see in any light (Upper Photo).
I do not want to include the case because it will be needed for another PSG I’m working on, so it is offered without a case.
A light weight moulded case can be bought elsewhere for a little extra cash.
I will ship in a well padded wood box. The guitar is standard height.
I never knew what to do with the pedal & knee lever tuning wrench when I was not using it. I used a tuner bushing next to the keyhead to hold that so it is handy when needed. I think it's a good idea...
There is already the wiring needed for an add on tone control that will be included. I never felt the need to attach it because the three way switch gives plenty of tone variation. (That is the Green Wire)
This has a butt kicking Jerry Wallace True Tone pickup split for 12k & 18k. Very good range of tone.

This is the copedent that is on the guitar now, very easy to change to whatever you may want.
One potential buyer wanted to see the arm rest so here are the photos of that;
It is designed to go from the right side of the steel to the 5th fret.
That leaves more of the wood showing. Too nice to hide in my mind.
It is lamb hide dyed dark blue/purple with the suede side showing.
Very soft and comfortable.
The rubber bottom keeps it from slipping, but you can lift it off and no marks left or holes drilled to hold it, though that could be done.
