My Latest Project

Postby Ted Nesbitt » Mon Jan 15, 2018 10:19 pm

I recently imported a Fender Artist D10 from USA. As most of you already know, these guitars were built by Sho-Bud for Fender
Musical Instruments between 1975 - 1976. Three models were available ..... Artist S10 3 x 1 Student Model .... Artist S10 3 x 4 single
neck on a single frame .... and the Flagship, Artist D10 .... 8 x 4. The mechanics of the S10 and the D10 was designed by Sho-Bud that
later became the Sho-Bud Super Pro. I always wanted a SD10 version of this great guitar, (Fender never made this guitar in SD10 format) so
I got to work on it, and Im very pleased with the final result. It is now a SD10 4 x 4 and is in incredible condition, and it sounds wonderful.
The guitar is not for sale .......

What do you reckon guys?

Is this the new workhorse Ted?

Ha! So that's where the parts came from! :lol:

Looking great Ted and it will have that distinct (400 800 1000 series) sound! .......... Sweet!

Willie! This doesn't compete with the Mullen, this harmonizes! it is simply another voice in the heavenly choir of pedal steel guitars.

A mezzo soprano perhaps and a most definite keeper!

Beaut Ted! :mrgreen:
