Not a single person in that conversation knew what that ShoBud was worth. Not the shop owner or their professional they called in. Not even the owner. I hope she eventually found the SteelGuitarForum and sold it on there. Great community of everyone from professionals all the way down to ppl that have never seen a PSG in their lives

Yea, I am glad she did not sell it to these buggers.

Q. "Why do only old guys play it... A. Because its a lost art form, it's one of the hardest instruments in the world to play..and most of the music today is stupid...Gotta love pops! And he's right! Sho-Bud, Emmons and ZB's .. the people that brought you that classic country sound we all know and love.

He is also the consummate rip-off artist. "$1500 is as high as I'm gonna go". Typical, a**hole pawn shop dealer. If she were to put that thing on sale in the Steel Guitar Forum it wouldn't last a day before someone gave her a reasonable price. 2 grand would be a gift.

[@boledle]

"it takes an actual musician to play it." Truer words rarely spoken.

[@waynedavies3185]

Once you get the hang of things, they become much easier to play. I have two lap Steels (one I made myself). They are not all that much harder to play, than a regular guitar, if you know the notes on each fret, and can read music. Cording is much easier as well (that's the first think to learn). I plan on making one more over the winter months, with home-made, hand benders installed on it. It'll work more like a pedal steel then.

[@superorangeish]

@@waynedavies3185 Lap steel and pedal steel are 2 different animals.

[@waynedavies3185]

@@superorangeish Not really. Lap Steel guitars can be made with benders ( either for hand control, or leg control) to both raise and lower the pitch of a string)s). They are both the same instrument where one is modified for string bending, while the other is plain, without the string bending. If you can play one, you can play both with a little extra work of learning of the bending process. Remove everything that bends the strings, and you have a Lap Steel.

[@waynedavies3185]

@@superorangeish Might Note, that home-made, or factory-made hand benders can be made to fit on a plain regular Lap Steel. The benders supply the same actions, and pitch control as the pedal models make on a pedal steel. Instead of using your legs, you use your hands to do the same function or the pedals, Otherwise they are the same instrument.

[@adamfuckindrover]

@@waynedavies3185lol. So instead of using two hands, two knees and both feet - left one with 3-8 pedals - the lap steel is just as difficult. This is the ukulele player claiming it’s just as easy to play a harp

This was really hard to watch. I'm a pedal steel player, and that instrument is worth much more than any of the numbers being thrown around. They're very rare, very sought after, and the craftmanship of this particular steel is absolutely amazing. Contrary to what the old man said, they WOULD have people knocking down the door to buy that. I'd walk away feeling like I got a deal on that thing at $4000.

[@mperrin68]

My son has a vintage MSA 12 string universal

[@superorangeish]

The only problem w/ vintage ( as nice as this is) it might be a problem finding parts for.

[@Bearthalamass]

You can still find parts for shobuds. I had one rebuilt last year and bought 2 new machined knee levers (the old teardrop shape) and prices ain't bad. I got 2 for $50. I got a 71 professional 2 tone blonde and red converted into an sd10 single with a pad on the back. I wouldn't part with it for less than 4k. The older two tone body's are so 😍. It's an old rack and barrel changer but it plays smooth as a baby's bottom.

[@dannymuhammad8321]

It is a finger tip so it's tone for days but those guitars don't sell like you think they do. A lot of players want a modern set up that's easier to change.. You don't hardly see these anywhere around Nashville.. I actually have a 73 professional that I love but it's hard to mess with.. You gotta get somebody who knows how to work on these suckers man they're not just perfect when you get them.. It might be worth 4000 to you but good luck trying to get 4000 for it.. Eventually you would find Somebody but it's rare.. Definitely worth more than 1500

[@dannymuhammad8321]

​@@mperrin68 Yeah those are really really hard to sell. First of all people don't want their first steel to be a 12th string.. An msa is not a huge seller.. I love the brand myself but they're just hard to sell.. They're not worth what you think they're worth.... Truth

[@JohnLeePedimore]

Shot Jackson is the person who sold Willie Nelson his famous guitar, Trigger. It was in the early 70s. Trigger is a Martin N-20. It's a classical guitar that was meant to be played with just your fingers and not a pick. That's why the guitar doesn't have a pick guard and it's also why Willie has created that big hole in it from using a pick for several decades.

"The pedal steel is one of the hardest instruments in the world to play." I totally agree. And they're getting harder to find. Maybe a lost artform?

[@JesusisJesus]

I’d put The Theatre Organ up there with The hardest instruments to play. I decided to take it up during covid lockdown and I could already read music. Unfortunately it too, is becoming a lost artform. Younger people just aren’t interested in working hard at mastering anything. I keep a log book of my practice, rehearsal and performance times and its taken hundreds of hours just to be able to perform in public. I learned bass guitar in 250 hours.

[@longhair-dontcare9983]

@@JesusisJesus Awesome, SID. I 've been playing for decades, so no telling how many hours of practice for each instrument for me. I love the sound of the Hammond B3 with Leslie. But that's a unique idea to log hours. Cool.

[@donf3739]

No way! NOT a lost art form. More and more people are picking up this instrument, including youngsters and oldsters. I bought one 2 years ago, and it took me 3 months to wait in line to have it built because the builders are having a hard time keeping up with demand.

[@bmask4731]

I don't follow. What exactly is the insult

[@stevenhickenjr]

A beautiful old Sho-Bud. This a very old model. I believe this is an old "Permanent" Model from the 60s. Tonally amazing. Sho-Bud created great designs from the pioneering day of pedal steels through to the 80s when most companies settled on the "All Pull Changer" way of mechanics. My old man has owned a Sho-Bud since '81 when he got it brand new.

[@stevenhickenjr]

@Two Black Labs To be honest, the couple of people that said junk look to be trolls. I've seen them on a few other videos here saying the same thing. But yes, pretty annoying seeing uneducated comments...like the guy here who think pedal steel is easy to play and sitar is harder. It's funny why I only know of probably 10 players in the whole world under age 25. This instrument doesn't let you have instant gratification. It takes years of hard work to be good.

[@gurragaming4888]

That was a pedal steel guitar, like this one, except it only had 2 pedals if I remember right.

[@jefflampert6336]

The floor pedals should all look the same but there are two different styles. That raises red flags for me. Also Jesse never checked out the pedals to make sure they were raising and lowering the strings properly. There are a lot of mechanical components on a pedal steel and if there are problems it could be a headache for someone.

[@stevenhickenjr]

I noticed that too with the pedals. Looks like it has 80s Sho-Bud pedals on the first 3 but some people prefer the skinnier pedals. As for the not checking, that's exactly why I wouldn't buy a steel from a store unless they had employees who were experienced steel players.

[@Mel0763]

On the older models of Sho-Bud, like this permanent and the fingertip, the pedals for the E9th neck were narrower than those for the C6th. I’m not really sure why they made them that way, but the guitar is correct.
