| Nice pics of fine looking Pro-II (Not Custom) with some transitional features like the square cabinet smaller pedals and raised graphics on the fretboards yet keeping the traditional curved knees and Gumby headstock-this one I figure dates from about 1978-Any comments Ricky D? |

Hey Paul; that looks to me like a first run Pro~II Custom...and it should say "The Pro~II Custom" on the side where it says "Pro~II"....>so looks like it's been re-finished or re-lacquerd(hard to tell) because the original stickers are actually water decals under the lacquer.
The first run of Pro~II Customs had the curved knees and head stocks and slick narrow pedals and were made in the 1976 and after era.

Ricky-I got my Pro-II D-12 8+4 Natural Birdseye the summer of '76 (after high school graduation) It was square front and small pedals but it had the Gumby headstock,curved knees,and flat fretboards-It was a double raise single lower with the short nylon hex ends-I figured this one to be just a little later than my graduation present (to myself)  |

huh,what a beauty.And $1600??? Why do I think this guitar should be worth over 2K ?Because it is.Who ever buys this one will have a great instrument for a more than a fair price.I would love to buy it myself but can`t do it right now.Bump for this piece of art.

Question for Graham and/or Sho-Bud experts:
How difficult and expensive would it be to add two more knee levers?
Thanks Much,
Grant

It can be done but I don't know for what price. Ricky Davis appears to be the man for that kind of stuff. Also I know Bobbe Seymore has lots of old Sho-Bud parts.
Guys...thanks for the compliments. No serious offers yet...don't make me put this beauty on Ebay, I would much rather sell it to a Forumite! |

Grant; the parts for a RKR added to work both necks with two pulls each....is around 125.00 and a LKR added to work the E9 neck with two pulls would be around 100.00.
And Duane Marrs www.duanemarrs.com has these parts and is who I also order parts from.

Graham, your Sho~Bud is an absolute beauty. I have never seen anything like it. I'd offer my Fessenden as a trade, but I see that you already have another great D-10. Good luck with the sale and thanks for letting me take a peek at that fantastic piece of wood.
