I had a look at this guitar. It belonged to Paul Gentile in Manchester NH. He bought it on Ebay @2006. Bob Metzger worked on it for him, and then I did a little repair a couple of years later. Definitely a no-namer; possibly put together from different makers' parts. Those four little set screws on the end were coming apart when I had a hold of it. That said, it played pretty well and had a good vintage tone. Did you buy this from the Music Mill in Manchester? They had it up for sale last spring.

Doubtful that it is a Bud, but did anyone else notice this "Super Pro Era" pot metal bracket?

| I don't own it but someone is trying to sell it to me. He thinks it is a Wheller but I didn't. He is asking $700.00 for it. Sounds like too much for me. Thanks for all of your help. |

Yeah, Steve, based on my recollection of plying it, I think you could do better for $700. Of course, it is a low end 12 string, and there may not be that many of them around.
