Hi, I'm looking for help in trying to identify a Fender 10 string. Pretty sure that it some variant on the Student Single 10, but with a nicer Maple/Walnut body. It's also labeled "Special" on the pedal bar. Just curious, as I have just picked this up as a project...
Many thanks guys!

Thanks Jeff. Yes, definitely some kind of a mutt...  but possibly related to that Artist Single 10 in the other thread. |

Fender Student (Maverick) by Sho Bud with a JCH fret board. "Special decal" is not related.

thats a true Fender student -- whats interesting is no SN# stamp --normally there would
be two stamped No.# in the area of the arrows -- it could be a special factory build -but- if the SN#’s were there I’d say some one veneered the original cabinet -- that still may be the case , but a very interesting fender .

| Thanks for the confirmation Bob. Appreciated! I'm receiving this today so will have some time to check it out in detail. Picked her up for $550 so will have a nice little nice, light weight axe for occasional live stuff. |

| As it turns out, the body is stamped '0164' between the tuners, just couldn't see it in the photo. |

| There are no Maverick parts in there, those are SuperPro (i.e. late '70's/early '80's ShoBud) bellcranks and pedals, coupled with a pull-release changer of unknown origin, and the body appears to be a one-off, unlike anything that came from ShoBud. |

Hi Dave
thats the beauty of these old Fender Student Guitars they were built by Sho-Bud for the fender Co. I would say the one shown by Scott is near one of the first ones built with a SN# 164 -- I rebuilt one that was in the 500 area and it was built in 72 or 3
the changer is the Fender design -- and its all pot metal so its my guess Sho-Bud used Fender to test the method before doing their Pro series guitars -- the neat part is , you can do all the mods and its almost a Bud |
