Yes, go on over to the SGF--however you can't post without joining. One of the members could post--I'll do it if you need--but you could also call Bobbe Seymour at
Steel Guitar Nashville -- http://www.steelguitar.net/ --and he could probably give you the lowdown. If it is the right kind of Sho-Bud it is probably worth a bit more than it books at--but of course there are a lot of variables--like overall condition, what kind of guitar--you are saying a D-10 (8x1)--but is it a Pro, or what? Wooden or aluminum necks? Wide or narrow pedals? Also what is the copedant--chord pedal arrangement? That is which strings do the pedals they actuate? (What does each pedal do to what string--raise or lower it?) This is important as there are two very popular setups for pedals--Emmons and Day setups which are slightly different. Of course, you and your friend could just keep it and begin the madness. I play a GFI SD-12 Universal(8x5) and love it. It is unlike any other instrument out there.
