Well the little feller is all done. Not perfect but very appealing. Even Lynn Stafford had to start from scratch and look where he is now. I had all the hard parts nickel plated like the Emmons parts, that way they won't be prone to rust as with zinc plating. Tom Bradshaw was a huge help in fretboard decision, he sent white first but it was too much white and even he said it would not look right. This was an original black guitar that was pretty hard to look at. It still could use at least one new leg as it is pitted pretty bad but you have to make a stand somewhere.

Nice 'Bud! AND my favorite color! Great job. The first Sho-Bud I ever owned was a ProI just like this one & it was black,if I'd have known how pretty it could've been I would've kept it.

| I had no plans on keeping it Chris so I just wanted to restore it and get it out on the front line so it can be enjoyed by someone else. |

Hey now...very appealing indeed! Nice shade of blue, and the undercarriage looks terrific with those nickel plated parts as well. Fine job David.
