The Steel Guitar Forum

Forum,

What's the scoop on the new Sho-Bud guitars? Where do you try/buy these? Are they good? What has changed from the originals?

Thanks,
Drew Howard

We have a house full of Sho-Buds, of every model, age ,configuration,color etc. A good stock ,all with warrenties. Anyone that likes this brand of guitar, we can satisfy.
We don't usually have the good stock we have at the moment,and may not next month,however, we do right now so don't be mad if you wait for a month and they are gone. Prices range from $1250.00 to $2650.00.
We have Pro IIs, ProIIIs Superpros,Professionals.(Sorry Ann,I don't mean to use this forum for an advertising tool, just trying to answer this gentelmans question). Forgive me all you non-Sho-Bud guys but this brand guitar is starting to get a lot of new followers.Heritage,tone, they are pretty,and still being used on a lot of hit records. What else can be wished for?And they are still inexpensive, a great value.And parts are no problem to get on the later models.

As b0b has stated in different ways several times previously, as long as one is following the guidelines given in The Steel Guitar Forum's User Agreement, pretty much everything else is okay with him. Anyone having a question about how b0b wishes the rules applied might want to post in the Feedback & Testing Forum for clarification from b0b.

I'm sure Drew and others would still like to know the answers to the 4 questions he asked.

This actually really interests me. What is the deal with Rayline and new Sho-buds? Are these actual NEW Sho-buds that Gretsch is authorizing? I know that Bobbe has a ton of used Sho-Buds, but the question at hand is NEW guitars. Bobbe, are you a dealer for new guitars or are they only available through Rayline? Has anyone actually played the new Rayline built SBs? How do they stack up? Just curious.

Mike Perlowin asked about Sho-Bud at the Gretsch booth at NAMM last January. They told him that Sho-Buds are not currently being produced. Gretsch owns the Sho-Bud name.

I'm moving this topic to the Pedal Steel part of the Forum.
