Pete,
I don't have an answer for you, but that's the late and great drummer Randy Hauser in the background. Paul brought Randy to a show we produced near Phila in 1986. Your photo was probably taken in the late 70s.

| Wow - is that Paul? Could've fooled me. I'm going to guess the steel is a Pro III. |

It could be a Pro 2 with a Super Pro undercarriage,or a Super Pro, Judging by the knee levers and headstock.
Maybe Paul will jump in here.

I'm going to revise my guess. Rounded front and wood necks suggest a Pro II, but the straight knee levers are still a mystery.  |

Do not think standard production models, his father was running the factory. He could have had anything he would like to try |

As far as I can remember, the Pro III's had aluminum necks and the Pro II's had wooden necks. If I remember correctly, Sho-Bud changed to "straight" knee levers and away from the "teardrop" levers (and the long key head with the Pro III's.) I played a Pro III in the late 70's that had aluminum necks, straight knee levers and the shorter key head. Sho-bud was always changing designs.

| I don't think they made a Pro III wooden neck as the difference between II and III were the aluminum necks. I have seen Pro II' s with alum necks however. The knee levers look similar to what's on a Franklin? Sr prolly built it while at S~B would be my guess. Looks 75/76 era and straight knees look diff than those made be S~B of late 70's and later. Hopefully Paul will see this and respond. |

| My guess is a version of, or a Pro II Custom. Looks like a square front to me. As Bas said, with Paul Sr. building guitars at the shop, there is no telling what it was! |

A few years ago Paul was hired to do a live recording session on the Faroe Islands near Norway, but are owned by Denmark.
The Sho-Bud was a loaner from someone in Europe, since he didn't want to haul his Franklin PSG to Europe.
Not totally sure of the location of the pic. ??

that may be, but this was more than 'a few years ago'.
it may have been before the first franklin guitar was made. |

Paul's dad, Paul Franklin, Sr. was building ShoBud's at the time, so this may be a special ProIII he built for his son. Man! - look at all the knee levers!

My Pro-III had aluminum necks, teardrop levers and waffleiron pedals. It may have been a Pro-III Custom, tho. |
