I've made some of my own, and I have bought some from the Forum, I've bought some from Show Pro Steel guitars.

What's the serial number? I think most of the ones that have wood surrounding the changer were from late '67 to end of '68. It's a Sho~Bud, so all bets are off, haha.

I think they are pretty cool ...

Bob, I'm pretty sure this changer is "fixed",as you say. I've only had modern steels to compare it to. I see no way to lower a string. I'm going to try some older tunings and experiment.

The integrated pickup and bridge assembly look a whole lot like the Holiday non pedal steel guitars that were made in Winchester. Wonder if there might be some connection there.

All the cast metal parts and the pickup were probably made by a guy named Ray Krick from Rochester, IN. He had partnered with someone who built these. I think he originally came from around Muncie, IN ...

A friend of mine has a 1978 Super Pro and wants to make it an SD-10.

Anyone out there make an appropriate pad to replace the C neck?

Thanks for any leads.

That '58 Sho~Bud makes me weak in the knees. I'm mostly into dobro and non-pedal these days, but if I could get one of those my world would be complete. Well, you know...until I fell in love with anot ...

Can you post a picture of the pickup? I'm in the market to change the sound of my T-8 Remington. It has George L 10-1 humbuckers. I wonder what the difference would be in the midrange of the guitar. I ...

The first thing I'd probably try if I were staying with an E on the first string is L-H: G Bb C E G A C E

You could tune to an A on the 7th string.

I just watched this video and it reminded me of this thread.

Here's a guy using a flat bar. The tone and touch are undeniable...Don Helms on a cabinet-end Sho~Bud.

That's a great lesson in string pulling! The best I've seen anyway. Thanks for posting this.

I have an old Supro. It's cosmetically decent, a little crusty. That doesn't bother me.

Could be a lube issue, but that's not likely. Also, check the string gauge. (Using a slightly heavier string could fix the problem.) Did you make sure there was slack in the pedal train? If there i ...

I will put that on the list of things to check!

I have done a fair amount of searching about this without finding an answer.

Tomorrow I am going out to a friend's house to look at his 1978 Sho~Bud SuperPro. It has suddenly developed an overtuni ...

Huh, he must have settled on a tuning then. Or he's not telling her about the years of crippling indecision and worry he must have faced. Muttering

Still looking. Anyone?

Thanks for the post about this band.

I had not heard of Fred Travers until reading his name here. I went and found his Soundcloud account, and wow, do I like his playing and tone!

How attached to your D string are you? Most universals put the B as the 9th string and have a G# on 10, E on 11 and B on 12. The 9th string gets pulled up to D.

I have considered doing a universal ...
