What doesn't look right. Looks like a standard Sho~Bud Crossover to me. What am I missing?

| My stupid, I guess. I don't remember the back apron looking like that, and I thought the year sounded wrong, which also looks dumb on my part. So I'm minimally smarter now. |

By the way, this is only about an hour from me. If anyone is really serious about buying it and wants me to go check it out, I might be able to pull it off (last minute Christmas shopping permitting...)

Could be the wrong year posted. I know what they look like, but not necessarily the years they were made. I wouldn't mind having it though.

1967 looks about right. The wood surrounding the changer was typical in '67 and the wood was removed by sometime in early '68. The very, very earliest ones were in late '66 and real production was '67-'69, after that the Professional was the main seller.
Cool guitars but you can't be afraid of tinkering...they do have a lot of tinkering to make them work the best they can.

I have two Crossovers. They both look similar to this, except that mine are more battle-scarred.  
Great-sounding instruments. A bit finicky tuning, but once you have them set up right the fact that you can use all the pedals on both necks is a great advantage, and makes up for the fact that they only come with one knee lever.
Unless it goes up significantly, it's a good deal right now. 
But I warn you, they're heavy.  |

The Crossovers were built from about '67 to about '70.  |

Hi Rick!
I agree with you. Looks like a '67 to me too. My first Shobud was a Crossover Custom, and it looked more modern than this one. So I think it's early. Not as early as yours though! |

| It can't be a 1967, they didn't have digital cameras back then. |

No, it has the six pedals they were all built with. |
