I'm posting this one for a friend. This is a Sho-Bud "Professional" with a great sound (you can hear it on this recording: http://masonbrothers.bandcamp.com/track/carousel). I am told that it plays well, too. This guitar is a 3X5 (two levers are vertical) E9 S-10 with a narrow arm-pad. My friend doesn't know the exact year when it was manufactured, but the serial number is 20002. Interestingly, it appears to have been a custom order for Curly Chalker (see photo showing "CUST. MFG. H.L. CHALKER" stamp). Given the custom nature of the instrument, we're not sure how to price the guitar, so please send your best offer. Also, feel free to e-mail or PM me with questions.
Here are some photos:

| Quite a hodgepodge of knee levers. Looks like a couple old ones,a later 70s one and maybe an MSA as well. Speedy West style tone control on the end. Maybe another good shot of the undercarriage would help someone make a suggestion on price. |

| This guitar definitely has some mojo. An ideal project for James Morehead or Ricky Davis. |

According to the database computed my Michael Yahl and myself on Sho-Bud guitars, your instrument should date from early 1972 (March).
Hope you'll sell it with its real due price. Nice instrument indeed.
Best,
ayp
