I have worked on tons of Sho-Buds and I cannot see any piece that is Sho-Bud.The keyhead and changer tailpiece resemble Sho-Bud bud not original parts. I have a couple Sho-Bud Protypes and there is no resemblance. Ed Naylor Steel Guitar Works. |

Sho-Bud? I don't think so.
I would bet one part of the ad is correct though. I would bet it is HEAVY! |

The lettering on the left of the foto looks faintly like Fender. |

That looks like some kind of pull release changer mechanism... I'm pretty sure sho-bud never made pull-release stuff. |

The Maverick was pull-and-release, and I think it was derived from the old permanent, which was also pull-and-release, wasn't it?.Never mind. I just went back to take another look, and the seller now states it is not a Sho-Bud, and the maker is unknown. It looks a little like a ZB. Wonder why it has a Sho-Bud name plate?[This message was edited by David Doggett on 02 March 2004 at 11:22 AM.] |

The Sho~Bud nameplate is not authentic. It looks like someone just made it up. I was one of many that sent the seller an e-mail advising him of the fact that he DID NOT have a Sho~Bud for sale. He was very gracious and answered my e-mail telling me that he had received numerous other messages advising him of the same. That is why he changed his description. It is not his guitar, he is selling it for someone else.

Nothing on this guitar looks anything like any ZB I've owned or seen. Looks like it is a home made model and someone just stuck the Sho~Bud logo on it (possibly to impress other steelers). |

As Ed Naylor has stated, Not one speck of Sho-Bud on the "thing" anywhere. E-bay striks again. E-bay buyers beware.
As a matter of fact, this has to be the funniest, poorest excuse for-----, never mind,I won't be negitive, I'm already busy with one lawsuit! Ha!

The pedals look like they came from an old Domland cable-operated guitar. Maybe Curry Coster could help us, simce it's got one thing in common with the Emmons he got from Lin Strauf. |
