What does Coop do when Coop Coops a Sho Bud?

John Coop builds undercarriage parts and changer parts I believe.

You can have the mechanical parts of your guitar changed out to Coop parts and it is then "Cooped". I think you can either have him do it, or you can install the parts yourself.

Another forum member, James Morehead, has started to do the same thing. Eventually, people will have the option of having their Sho-Buds "Moreheaded".

This is a Cooped Sho Bud. I just had Jim Palenscar of Steel Guitars of North County, in Oceanside, CA, add another knee lever. This was with parts made by James Moorehead. My wonderful Sho Bud is even better now.

What does it cost to coop or morehead a Sho-Bud? I know, it varies, but let's say you wanted to redo the entire underside of a Pro II Custom. Any ideas?

James,

In my neck of the woods, getting "james-ed" is a dirty, dirty thing...I can't even repeat it on the forum. LoL JjK Evil Twisted

I can call it James-ed if'n you want me to. Or JM'd or slim-jim'd or Oklahoma Hot-Rodded. Winking Whatever you prefer!!!

Keep up the good work!!!

Casey

Well I give up. If it has something to do with filth and perversion, then I head the other way. I do not try to keep up with what sick slang some use.
