Bender Instrument

I want a E, A, and D bender guitar. I don't need two tele's. Maybe it's time to buy one of those cool looking Sho-Bud amps. Three pedals and dovetail corners.

Also, I am getting carpel tunnel in my left hand. Maybe it's time for a slide bar instead?

If you want to bend that much, I think you should get a pedal steel. Go for it.

Another perk: you get to sit down at the gig.

ShoBuds are a blast! I have four of those bender guitars! Made my living with one.

I played a Fender 400 first, then a Fender 1000. I got my first ShoBud single 12 in 1977 while I was playing full time. The picture at the bottom is when I was playing at the old Foothill Club in Signal Hill, Ca. about thirty years ago. The guitar player in the picture is Cecil Bays. When I moved to Virginia in '85 I played it until it was replaced by a BMI Single 12 with 8 floor pedals & 5 knee levers. I love the BMI but I still miss my old 'bud....JH in Va.

Straight up with the left leg. LKV is Left knee vertical. I have a pic somewhere of me with my first pro Sho-Bud from '78. Single 12 with 7 pedals and 5 knees.
