Description
Brand: Sho Bud Exact Year: 1976
Type: Electric


Sho Bud model 6160 Red Birdseye Maple 12 string pedal steel guitar. Original hard case included. Made in the mid 1970s, square front, curved headstock, and curved knee levers. This one was a custom order with 4 floor pedals. It has 4 knee levers. There is an extra knee lever in the case, not sure if it was ever used for an up-pull or something?! This guitar will need to be setup and adjusted out as well as a good polishing. It has been stored for years and there are no strings on it at this time. The original Sho Bud pickup tests nice and strong at 18.3K. The rubber shoes at the bottom of each leg are dry and crackly, one is missing but they are easily purchased at hardware stores or Lowes for a few dollars. These guitars are heavy and it must be packed well, so, shipping is expensive. Feel free to make an offer. Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas to all.
