Thanks for all the info!

I kinda wondered if that was a Fender pickup as well. Logical guess for sure.

Pretty sure the thought on the "Country" logo is correct as well. I couldn't fi ...

A buddy scored this at a local auction. Looks like a National fretboard to me but after that I'm stumped. Anyone have any info about this thing??

Apologies for the crummy photos but the shadows were a pain to deal with.

Hey Ricky! Hope all is well. I agree. Definitely not a real Sho-Bud but certainly "Bud-Adjacent".

Clyde, that's a really interesting observation. I thought the underside looked much ...

I’ve seen a Marlen with this style inlay on top. Definitely some push-pull bell cranks in there. The circuit on the end looks like a tone knob with a switch to put it in or out of the circuit. Ma ...

Anyone care to weigh in on what this is? Mismatched end plates. Lots of interesting details to observe. I didn’t get a picture of the pedal rack. Two pedals, one knee. Thoughts?

Thanks for the info! I was thinking Emmons on the knee levers but wanted confirmation. Also wondered if anyone had ever seen another D-11 like this. Given how few Fingertips of any type exist, seem ...

Hey Folks! Long time, no post... Picked this up last weekend. Guess I needed another project? Smile

I guess I should search first, ask later...

That is simply beautiful! Wish I had the $$ for it. Sigh. I wonder what the setup is? Best to you on your sale!

Early on I tried thumb pick/finger picks. Never could make it happen. I've used a flat pick/fingernails for over 20 years. Works just fine for me. I do go back forth from steel to "regular&qu ...

Very cool! Any chance there are pictures of the Bigsby work? Are the pedals and undercarriage stuff still around to put the pulls back on? I love to see the modded ones. Any idea how old the re-fi ...

It needs both repair and setup/maintenance. I got the E9 neck working but it is still pretty gummy in there. Some of the knee levers and pedals were removed at some point in the past and my friend w ...

Hey Folks. A buddy of mine has an old Franklin that needs a pretty extensive cleaning/rebuild and setup. It is beyond what I want to tackle. Any recommendations on someone to tackle this job? We a ...

Decision was made to keep it. Please close this thread. Thanks!

Hey Folks! Hope you all had a super Christmas. My brother treated himself to a new amp and decided to sell this one. Very clean Vibrosonic. Original speaker. Sounds great. Don't really want to s ...

Sold long ago. Sorry.

Trade completed. Donation on the way.

Sent you an Email Dan.

Hey Folks! Needing to sell my Sho-Bud. I'm guessing 1976 give or take based on the feature set. Bobbe Seymour did some work on it when I first got it over 10 years ago and said it was a 1976 so tha ...
