Like all of the original Sho-Bud products, this guitar is nicely made and neatly designed. The company was originally the brainchild of top steelers Shot Jackson and Buddy Emmons and in many ways was a continuation of the Bigsby tradition, Paul Bigsby having sold his company in 1965 and died not long after. The Maverick shows a definite Bigsby inspiration, in both its operating system and maple\/aluminum construction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis instrument has ten strings, three pedals, and one lever, with roller nut and bridge. The maple body has a cast metal tuner assembly and an enameled, molded plastic fingerboard with the traditional Sho-Bud gambler's (heart, spade, clover, and diamond) motif. This is a good-sounding if fairly simple steel and an excellent performance instrument for the beginner\/intermediate player, offering much of the vintage steel appeal of the scarcer and much higher-priced Sho-Bud professional models.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 33 3\/4 in. (85.7 cm.), 7 in. (17.8 cm.) width, and 3 in. (7.6 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 24 in. (610 mm.). Width of nut is 3 in. (76 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppears all original with only minor wear. Excellent Condition.","brand":"Sho-Bud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853259329676,"sku":"3985","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_79eb618e-f30a-46eb-9481-e008fb52eb04.jpg?v=1774332367","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/sho-bud-maverick-pedal-steel-electric-guitar-1970s-3985","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
