Near as I can tell, this is a late '66 to early '67 Shobud Fingertip. I've been calling it my '67. It has 4 knee levers and 9 floor pedals. I have kept this guitar pretty much original as possible and period correct.
As you can see, I've gone completely through this guitar, including the changer. This is one CLEAN guitar, and not very common. Trutone pickups are wound to 17,000 and 9,000. Tone knob works great and has a switch to disable it out of the tone circiut if you wish.
It is setup Emmons setup, lower the E's on LKR. Pedal 4 is able to be setup anyway you like, if you want the Franklin pedal. Currently pedal 4 on the E9 neck raises string 4 a full tone, and lowers string 8 a full tone. On the C6th neck, pedal 4 raises string 6 a half tone and lowers string 2 a half tone. $2500 + shipping.

Thanx for the info and support, my friends. You obviously have fine taste. 
I had just gotten done refurbing this guitar at the time of starting this thread. In the last couple of days, I have really bonded with this guitar. I can't recall a better sounding guitar, and although the undercarrage is primitive by today's standards, I have gotten this guitar to play really soft. I'm on the verge of just keeping it. Heck, I doubt I'll ever find another in it's class. |

| Well, I have decided to WAKE-UP. I'm going to hang on to this one. I don't believe I could stand the seller's remorse. |
