Used Sho Bud dual 12 string professional W/Case

This Sho-Bud Professional D-12 Pedal Steel in Natural finish is in excellent vintage condition, showing only minimal wear and a bit of dust from years of respectful storage. This rare dual-neck, dual 12-string model features 8 foot pedals and 9 knee levers — the Cadillac of pedal steels in both build and tonal versatility. The instrument includes original George L's pickups, known for their clarity and definition, and rotary switches mounted underneath for tonal shaping and pickup selection. Although we haven't restrung or adjusted this piece due to its complexity and rarity, it appears internally clean and the electronics sound clear and full. This item was acquired from the family of its original owner, who had not played it in years, and has been stored securely in its original hardshell case. Also included are vintage tuning guides, a Goodrich Model 60 Matchbox with patch cable, slide, picks, leather leg bag, and necessary tools for setup and maintenance. This Sho-Bud is a collector-grade example of one of the most revered pedal steels ever made and would be ideal for local pickup, given its weight.
