hey guys,thanks.
I haven`t played steel in I don`t know how long,I don`t even remember how to tune it up.When this oldie gets set up and I get my two Promats I`ll be ready to do some lite weekend gigs.I`m sure I`ll enjoy playing this old Sho~Bud for sure.
My wife loved it and I said "it is 40 years old"
and she said "yeah,and it smells like it is" LOL
the charm of playing an vintage instrument is in look,tone and also smell,vintage instruments have a distinctive smell to them wich I don`t mind at all,that`s a smell of music history,thousand gigs and thousand stories.

Can those permanent changers both lower and raise the E's?

Dang dude that is so sweet.
I am sure you will love it.
Same with Brad's question.
I am sure it will be most playable as it is, but the E's sure would be nice.
Is it 8 + 2...? can't really see,
and don't remember what was normal..

Brad;
I never owned the model you refer to, but; I think it was referred to as a Pull/Release Model, which required a special additional changer mounted under the cabinet, ahead of the regular-changer. Just another free 2-cents!

This changer? I have no trouble making it do anything any other "changer" can do.
This guitar is my specialty. One of my first guitars ever was a 1959 single neck "9" string Sho-Bud with 8 pedals and several knees. Tom Morrell had a matching guitar to mine that was originally Billy Braddy's.
I also do original cable setups on the original "Oak Cliff" MSAs and Bigsbys.
Anyone out there needing "Perminant" Sho-Buds set up, just send it to me with a lot of money and it's done, factory style.

hear how she sounds when Bobbe gets through
working his magic. |

Damir,
This is my stable so far. I think a permanete like yours could be next. I am afraid to ask Bobbe cause I am sure he would find me one for sale!!! |

| Damir the 7th string on the e9th neck shouldn't that be atached to the stud on the changer? See 4th picture, good looking guitar I have an old sho-bud I'm sure bobbe can take good care of it. |

That's how strings were attached on these guitars if the particular string didn't have a pedal change. Remember when these were built tunings and set ups were almost always custom built. Could be that there are no changer fingers for those strings, just a "barrel" on the bridge axle. Stringing up through that hole makes changing a string a lot easier and faster.
Pretty guitar Damir, I have one almost exactly like it, with a slightly different inlay and the necks on mine are black lacquer. |
