I’m so pleased with the Sho-Bud – it’s hard to find a good pedal steel in the UK and so important to be confident about its condition. The guitar looked really good in photographs and looked just as good when it arrived. It was packaged beautifully and it sounds wonderful, I’m very pleased with the guitar. Thanks!
