Let me break in. I have the same question. I have a Sho-Bud LDG with serial number 13122. Have a Year? Bought it from Rick Campbell out of Nashville last year and it retained it deep green color and it's a beauty.

I have a Fender D10 built by ShoBud SN 0573. Purchased it from a local dealer in 1978. They had to order it and it took 2 weeks to get it. Anyone know the date of mfg of this one?

I took delivery of a Sho-Bud Professional in March of 1971, the serial number was 8106. How does that fit into the records?

Alan there was a special run of that model, I had one ,near as I could tell the only difference was the inlay and the way the pickups were mounted with bolts thru the coils.
