no, it looks like it has a few Maverick parts, but not enough to call it a Sho~Bud

This is a classic cable pull Fender 800 body blended with both early and late model Maverick components.
The body may be a custom made cabinet similar to the Fender as it has wood aprons both front and rear. The Fenders did not as they had a flat slab which sat into a full surround cast frame. It's possible that the aprons were added to an original Fender body.
The end plates, changer, fret board, and pedal bar all came from a Maverick.
This is a pull release changer which is late model Sho~Bud with Maverick style pulls.
They have added a rather well done cover plate around the changer/pickup to accommodate the George L and cover any excess space.
Of course the pedals are earlier Sho~Bud waffle pedals.
It appears to be fairly well done as far as the blending of the 2 guitars. The legs slip into the sockets and are held with thumb screws a-la Maverick.
That Sho~Bud badge on the front is fairly rare as I've not seen many of those which are injected plastic similar to the Emmons badges.

If you take this Maverick to start with and redo the body than you've got pretty much the one for sale.
Not a bad job by the way

Just the top and neck look like a ZB Student Model to me. J.R.

| I would say that the body is a Fender 400. The rest of the steel are from a Maverick. |

| It's a Fen-Bud ! Interesting how it was fused together. Like the Partscasters. |
