Hi, I just want to show off my new back neck on my shobud professional. I hav built it over the last month or so.
I play a lot of lapsteel in my live performances and sometimes have troubles getting enough space, so...I bought a piece of maple and got to work. It is ready for a 8 string setup, but currently only have six because I dont have a 8-string pickup yet.
I also has a piezo pickup in the bridge wich I am using for a Dobro sound.
I bought two new fretboards from Tom Bradshaw, looked great. There are pictures on this link: http://baroy.no/?vis=artikkel&fid=55&id=1606200621041916290&t=Sho%20bud%20professional
If someone has a 8-string pickup for sale, I am interested.....
Would like some feedback from you folks...so bring it on!------------------

That's cool, Tor. Did you buy it as an SD-10, or did you perform that conversion yourself? What's the tuning on the nonpedal neck?------------------

Thanks for kind words! I am very happy with it!
I bought the guitar as a SD-10 from an old gentelman in england! The tuning on the nonpedalneck is now(with 6 strings) standard GBDGBD, when I get an 8string pickup I am gonna put in a low and high E, that way it is good for both power chords and more swing sounding stuff, G6 I think it willl be. I play a lot of rock on this neck.------------------

I wonder why you didn't route the string through the body. Just curious. |

Very good job; I like that a lot(yes it's not original to the Professional); it's something I sometimes wish I had.

Arve, great job, I would install a George L, 10
string, it wont stick out past the strings anymore than the E-9 Sho-Bud does. will look great. More and more people are putting n/p
tunings on the back neck, to do everything from
straight, to dobro, and wild rock stuff. Congratulations, good job.
