Sho-bud Super Pro Project

[Bob Sehy]

Well, after numerous back and neck surgeries Im trying to get back into pedal steel again. So, I did what any logical person would do and got a heavy, sho-bud that needs a full teardown. What could go wrong LOL?! And, to complicate matters further, Ive never done it before.
That being said, here's a pic of it, a 1982 super-pro. It came to me really dirty, and everything is there but not functional. This is it after 3 days of trying to get the cabinet clean , with a lot of advice from Ricky Davis.
New knee lever brackets and tear drop levers are on the way from Barry Coker, and 2 Lawrence Wilde 710's are ordered as well.
Wish me luck (I'll need it)

Looking good Bob. That Super Pro is going to be a hoss, a jewel and the envy of many of us.

Having owned one of your resonator guitar builds, I can say your meticulous refurbishing appears to be on par with your craftsmanship expertise in building guitars.

Jerry, Thanks for the kind words. Im glad you enjoyed one of my resos. I built around 15 or so, and enjoyed doing it. Unfortunately, too many lower back problems, and subsequent surgeries put an end to my building. Im working on this old Sho-bud when the back allows, and having a good time while I "try" to do it.
