No, Shot wasn't involved in this venture, It was the "Music City Mfg.," company, owned by David Jackson that did the Fender contract. I'm not crazy about the center-mounted (not on the rear apron) RK levers, but several other popular guitars have them as well. If you could get it for about $1,200, it might be a great deal! Nobody's bid yet, and it's a good alternative if you don't want an old MSA, but still want a decent D10 for under $1,400. I've seen quite a few of these in the single-neck, but only two others in a double-neck. Basically a Sho~Bud made not to like one. Wow! That one looks like it's never been played!īobby Lee - email: - gigs - CDs, Open Hearts edited,they are out there in a few dealers inventory, they dont know what they have,or do they? CBS couldnt make up their minds.They had the Rhodes Suitcase 73 and Stage Pianos on their minds and not steel guitars.Ĭrow.they sound like a Fender should and play like a Sho Bud Would. I forget if this was before or after Gene Fields designed his great sounding and playing PS 210. I would estimateġ50 to 200 max of these were produced.Some were still in dealers inventory when I resigned from CBS.
I had a sample and wanted to keep it,but I had to return it to Fender. When I make reference to Fender,I mean CBS. I beleived at that time and to today that Fender was wrong in handling this as they did Of the sales rep whether or not he wanted a sample. There was a contractual agreement that Fender would not place an order for these unless Fender had a commitment from their salesman and the salesmans dealers as Fender didnt want to There was an agreement made between Shot and CBS that a minumum be made (6) to be sent to Fender salesman who felt the area they covered had a market for them.There were over 25 salesman at the time but most didnt want to get invloved with steel guitars,the commison was in Rhodes and Fender standard model guitars and amps. They are rodded (no cables).įrom: The Knight Of Fender Tweed~ Dodger Blue Foreverįender CBS contracted with Shot Jackson to produce The Fender (Sho-Bud) model. They were commisioned by Fender to be built by Sho-Bud.

Sho-Bud made PSGs for Fender for a short time in the 1970's. It looks like one of the "Sho-Bud" Fenders. Your profile | join | preferences | help | search This is the first album i did on pedal steel, basically ripped my whole solo from his playing on that video:Classic country shuffle styles for Band-in-a-Box, by BIAB guru Jim Baron. He sent me an absurdly detailed email back detailing all his different rigs through about two decades, the pedal/knee lever setup, the weight (of the steel, amp, and him), the types of drugs he was on at the time, and whether or not he had a roadie at the time. I called him when i was first getting into steel, and asked him about buying a light one cause i'm a little dude, and i was on a double neck Sho-Bud at the time, that was just way too heavy for me. I can't listen to that without getting goosebumps. My example of absolutely ****ing ridiculously awesome playing under a singer would be: That being said, like i said, there are a million exceptions. So, during the verses, there are whole and half note chords behind the vocals, yeah, but almost all the single note melodic fills are still in between the vocals - with a major exception at 2:15.
