Did ShoBud make any(many) 12 string universals? I don't remember ever seeing one for sale around here. If anybody has one show us a picture. Thanks, Larry

The barrel behind pullers is nearly the perfect system for universals.
My MonsterBud isn't finished yet. It was built as a D-12, I bought it with only one neck with the aim of making an SD-12

There's a guy in town with a beautiful red Sho-bud 12 string. I don't know what model it is or how it's set up.

That's 2 nice guitars. I wish I could find one for sale. I
really like my Emmons, Carter, & Fessenden 12 strings, but
I got a Super Pro D10 a while ago and like that ShoBud sound also.
So I would like to find SB uni. If anyone has one for sale,
Please contact me thru a PM here on the forum. Thanks...Larry

Larry, The Jackson is made by Shot Jackson's family. They basically are Sho-Buds, but with modern Mechanics.

Erv is right about Sho-pro. Everything I've read about them says that they also have that vintage sound and are excellent instruments.

You would probably be very happy with either one.
