That's a stone cold killer steel. If it was an SD12, I'd buy it!

Telonics stands behind their products 100%. I had a Telonics VP stop working and I sent it back. Turned out a paper clip found it's way inside and shorted something. They sent it back fully funtional ...

Nice playing! That Sho Pro sound reminds me of my '73 Sho Bud...sold many years ago.

Tommy,
Full disclosure, I removed the pedals and sent them to Bill Rudolph to re-drill the pedal rod connector 1/4" closer to the pedal board. He recommended the 1/4" because that small amo ...

Another option - keep the same pedals and drill new hole for the connector 1/4" or so closer to the pedal bar. No expense and just as effective. Have had this done on all my steels. Works great!

What Bobby said. Get a new set of top hat/string head tuners and eliminate that as a possible issue.

Very nice all the way around!

Congrats on your new Williams! It's lovely. You made the right decision!!

I started using a wound 6th because my '73 Sho Bud came that way and stuck with it. I use a .024W on my Williams E9th necks. Rock solid tuning stability, nearly zero cabinet drop with A pedal, 2 cents ...

That's Emmons. Nobody else plays like that!!

Nice work!

Thanks for keeping this updated John!

Has anyone tried one of these(170 or 200) for pedal steel? Most likely use with a modeler like a Strymon Iridium.

Scott,
How much does that case for your ShoBud weigh?

Chris,
I've got 3 keyless Williams steels with the same keyless tuner. Not sure if clockwise or counter clockwise wrap matters. I doubt it but I've always gone clockwise with no slippage or detuning. ...

Great work Wally! Love it!

I also have an Alumitone on the E9 neck of one of my series 700 Williams D-12's. Sounds good on that steel with a laquer body and wood necks. Then I tried an Alumitone on my 2023 Ext E9 Williams wide ...

Richard, which George L is on your steel? Big difference between the 12-1, Eon and E66. My experience is the Aumitone will be brighter on the high end than the 12-1 and the Eon, but less so than the E ...

John Call of PPL is still playing from time to time to the best of my knowledge. Saw him play and spoke with him at Ludlow Garage with the current version of PPL a few years back.

I've used a wound 6th my whole career, initially because my '73 Sho Bud came that way. Along the way I found out that it enhances tuning stability and minimizes cabinet drop. I don't lower the 6th, so ...
