It's 30 degrees out there this-afternoon but i'm deep indoors getting to know my new/old guitar. As you can see a Sho-Bud Pro 1......would it be from the sixties????....3 pedals and just 2 levers on the E strings. A few adjustments and playing right outa' the case. I may be looking to add a couple more levers, Its triple raise/double lower....hope I can do that when I find the parts.

The pro 1 was made 1970-1973. James Morehead has all the parts you need to bring it up to date. He is on the usa steel forum.. they are great sounding guitars...

Did'nt know you were left handed, or are you sitting on the wrong side.

Thanks for that John I was not sure of the actual dates. I have always played the Day way i.e.-CBA but this guitar is set up Emmons, finding it interesting in so far as It's making me do new things. Not using a D lever or having anything on one for a change. Was surprised I could play that way round at all.
