The Steel Guitar Forum

Hey just a heads up: I was in Portland Music at Milwaukie yesterday and they have a 73 Sho-Bud s10 with 3 and 1. I’d say good condition, maybe to VG since it is 50 years old. $1050 was the list, I believe.

Sounds like a Maverick

It's not a bad little guitar. They made a little video of me playing it on the Portland Music Facebook page. Keep in mind I didn't tune it before they took the video.....so there's that (I wasn't planning on making a video anyone would see). But, it does play pretty nice and it is in great shape. Wouldn't be a bad starter for the price. I think it's a 3X1 if I remember right. Oh, also, I helped them raise the C pedal you can hear that it hits the floor and doesn't fully come to pitch in the video because it was too low.

Seriously....I wasn't planning on making a video so it really is some out of tune noodling......

Portland Music Co has been in business since 1927, originally in downtown Portland but has several stores in the metro area. Several former employees have opened their own shops over the yesrs.

No, Ralph Hanzel Music (or West Allis Music) was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the suburb of West Allis. That's Milwaukee, with two E's. Now, Milwaukie with an IE, is near Portland, Oregon.

Ralph owned the Fender franchise in Milwaukee and alot of cool gear came through his store back in the day. He was a very good steel picker.
