There is a 12 string 7 pedal, 4 knee lever instrument for sale locally - maker is unknown. There is a medallion on the front which may help in identification. Any ideas as to maker, quality etc?

More photos and history. This PS was apparently custom made for church in TX.. I couldn't find a serial # but there is a hand etching Sho-Bud, 11-21-91. If it is a Sho-Bud what might it be worth?

Nothing looks Sho bud to me. Also 1991? RP

I agree with Ron, if it was a Sho~Bud it would have a Sho~Bud nameplate. That "medallion" looks more like a coat button or ladies pin. Some impressive machining in it, but how it actually plays and sounds is anybody's guess.  |

| The changer is quite interesting. Looks like the fingers pull the string and the rest of the bridge are rollers. Hard to tell with certainty from the pics though. |

Can't say who what when or where,but I'll tell you, it looks very nicely done... Whoever built it knew what he was doing, and was not a hacker...

I agree with Bob C. I think it is probably a one off homemade guitar built by someone with machinist skills (or the money to have a machine shop build parts).

Here is the bottom pic. As I posted earlier someone hand inscribed Sho Bud on the frame but there is no serial # anywhere. The standby had a # - 615 6107 The volume pedal is labelled Emmons. I understand that this has a Jimmy Day setup. They are asking $1495.

I Have seen that fretboard design before but can't place it. Looks like 7 pedals and 5 knees.

Being a 12 string and 7 pedals (and 5 knees) I would suspect its a Universal and may likely be Jeff Newman's setup. My guess.

I have seen that medallion before but can not remember where are when. But I do think it was in this Oklahoma area. J.R.

Not the same emblem but Ron Browning uses one similar on his Texas Pedal Steel guitars.

Yes David you are right. I have looked at the Texas Steel Guitars and they are a fine guitar. I think the Medallion in question is from a Steel Guitar that Charlie Weaver built in Ada, Okla back in time. Great picker and vocal's. J.R.
