New Sho Bro from Jackson

[Ken Byng]

My herd of musical instruments is just about to expand I fear. I have 19 6-string guitars, 6 pedal steels and a 10-string lap steel.

Jackson have just announced a new product. Their pedal resonator guitar - the Slide King Pedal Sho~Bro. It is a six string resonator guitar with 3 pedals and no levers. Unlike the Franklin Ped-a-bro, the Jackson guitar is a bona fide resonator with pedals attached. Triple raise & triple lower. Pics below.

I think my studio/music room will be getting an addition after the Dallas Show in March.

Correction to the above. Jackson's new Dual Action system allows double raise single lower on each string for their Sho Bro, but they are putting the triple R&L on their new pedal steels shortly.

Well, after all that I decided to go with a Hudson Hudsonator pedal resonator guitar. A simple pull-release mechanism, and a beautiful maple cabinet. Half the price of the Jackson, so I can buy 2 for the same price and have them in stereo. I am picking it up at Dallas in March, and it will be an ideal addition to my studio arsenal of instruments.
