HI EVERYONE
I own the most beautiful Sho-Bud on the planet! At least everyone that see,s it says so, it has been totally re-built, re-finished, all chrome underneath and plays like a New Guitar. I purchased it a couple of Months ago and realized that I bought from the heart and not my head.. I am just learning to play and I will never use this beautiful insturment to its potential, so I bought a GFI single neck,which suits me fine. I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how to do it, please contact me if you have any questions, the case is very well worn but usable, Im asking 2995.00 plus shipping my phone is 928-474-0355, cell is 928-595-1344 it has 8pedals and 5 knee levers, sustain till next week!!

Paul traded for the Blonde a couple months ago, and as he has stated, the guitar is just a little too much for him, and he's proud to have owned it for a time, as it is a stunning guitar, in beauty, tone, and playability. paul is is as straight up and honest to deal with as you will hope to find. 
This sweet guitar has the "John Coop undercarrage" under it, including the Super Fingers.
Anyone who buys this guitar can arrange to pick it up in Dallas at the Jamboree, if they wish to avoid shipping hassels.
Maybe I can get Ricky to chime in and put up the pics. |

 It was hard enough to hear and have to believe that James sold his baby but now this reason for sale is really bewildering. Too nice a guitar ranks up there with too pretty of a girl,too much pocket money,too nice a Harley,too many guns.........???? |

Bill did you start disassembly before or after the chip started exercising his authority with the handgun. 
Great looking guitar but "I Fall To Pieces," when I see it disassembled.

I would like to take just a minute and thank all of you who were involved with Blondie, Especially James Morehead the builder of this great guitar. James is one in a million, not only is he a great Sho-bud authority but a top-notch craftsman and above all he is honest!! Whatever he tells you, you can take it to the bank!! I am proud to call him my friend, he helped me through some trying times, was always their if I needed help and often times I did. If I ever decide to purchase another Sho-Bud I dont have to think twice about where to get one
I cant wait till Blondie #2 makes her appearence, Thanks James |

Paul,
I think that if I were you , I would have left this GORGEOUS Blonde out of the case , and I would sit it right next to the GFI and just practice till you worked your way up to the Blonde !!!.....What better inspiration would any man need to practice and get better playing ? .....That Bud is SWEEEEEET !!!.....Sincerely, Jim |

Memphislim, even though the guitar is "down the line of ownership", any questions you may have concerning this guitar or shobuds, please do not hesitate to ask. Congrats on scoring this "calender" Blondee. |

| Thanks Paul and James thank you for the offer. I often want a couple of my changes to happen quicker to balance out the pulls so was wondering if extended bellcranks are available for this beast? |
