I've been working on this one on and off for a few months.
Here is how it arrived-
And here it was a month or so ago while I experimented with Sunburst techniques-
On workbench -
And finished up with nice armrest pad made by Leigh Pollari of Nashville -
Thanks for checking it out. I am happy with the end product. And it sounds real nice with the original Sho~Bud pickup w/coil tap switch.

| Very nice, Mike! I know from the one that I recently bought from you, that you know how to set a rack and barrel Sho~Bud up right! It has the best feeling half stops on any guitar I’ve had. I’ll bet this sunburst guitar will too. |

Thanks Lem, I'm glad it's a good player!
Frank, Carl, Eric, and Larry thank you for the nice comments. Yes, it is quite rewarding breathing new life into older unplayable instruments.
