They would cast several years worth of end castings at the same time and they were not necessarily used in order, they just grabbed whatever was within reach.
Changer emmons pedal steel guitar serial numbers#
The end castings for the push pull guitars were stamped with serial numbers when they were cast and then stacked up on a shelf in the assembly shop. I see people on the forum trying to figure out what year their Fingertip was made because of certain features one individual may have on his guitar and letting everybody know what year he bought it, but because features were added or subtracted at any given time, this doesn’t necessarily indentify the year.Įmmons guitars can be even more confusing to identify. So here we have three different guitars being built by Sho-Bud at the same time. Most Baldwin guitars that Sho-Bud built were built from ’66 to ’69, and were built alongside some Permanent guitars and almost all of the Fingertip guitars. Of course, some big basic changes will help identify the decade, like most Permanent guitars were built before ’64, but not all of them. This is a frustrating thing to try to do because design changes happened as they were figured out and not because the year changed. People still today look at an old Sho-Bud and try to figure out what year it is by certain features on the guitar. The world of steel guitar up until about 12 to 15 years ago was very fluid when it came to designing and building new steel guitar models.
