Sho-Bud Steel Guitar Legacy Revived | Music News

The pedal steel guitar’s soulful wail owes much to Sho-Bud, the legendary instrument born in a Nashville garage in 1955 by Buddy Emmons and Shot Jackson. Once the go-to for country icons and housed in a historic Lower Broadway workshop now known as the “Sho-Bud balcony bar,” the brand vanished briefly after being bought out — until its grandkids revived it in 2024. Now, Sho-Bud is back, crafting guitars as it celebrates with a star-studded show at the Ryman Auditorium featuring Slash, Marty Stuart, and Marcus King. Presale tickets are live with password SHOBUD26; general sales drop Friday, August 14th at 10 AM CT. Guitar lovers and country fans: this one’s for you.
