1976/1977..That particular model was the original test bed for the ShoBud Pro mechanism, it's all pull. David Jackson made it..SHO-Bud Fender…
Sho-Bud built 4400 guitars for Fender between 1976 and 1977 (3 shifts working 7 days a week) The top of the range was The Artist Dual Pro D10 (8 + 4) followed by the Artist S10 (3 + 4) and then the Fender Student S10 with 3 + 1. Two colors available Black and Mahogany Lacquer.
Shot wasn't involved in this venture, It was the "Music City Mfg.," company, owned by David Jackson that did the Fender contract. 4400 steels were made for Fender in a one year period by David Jackson. There is a common misconception, everyone thinks that Shot Jackson was at head of Sho-Bud, but it was his son David, Shot jackson owned the shop on Broadway Nashville.
Different to the ShoBud that followed it because of the changer head radius and material. Slighter softer sound with less string whine on the high G#.

This is the 1st and only time I have ever seen an elevated ashtray, It must be from this point onward they went with the gumby headstock.

Nice guitar JD This is the series from the infamous 'man of steel' ad which always deserves a re post

Looking at one of the pictures in this thread it may have had a Fender bar sticker originally (re: your video). https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtop ... c&start=25
