I bought this locally from the original owner about 4 months ago. I sent it to Ricky Davis for a tuneup which also included a couple replacement barrels, a changer cleanup, and the installation of a Bill Lawrence 710 pickup on the e9 neck(c6 has original pickup).
I bought it to get my feet wet with a double neck, and then quickly decided I “needed†a newer, lighter, more mechanically advanced guitar. It was a tough decision though, because this sho-bud plays well enough and sounds great. Largely because of the BL, but I learned also that 1973 was the last year they produced them with changers that were made of a certain type of steel that apparently contributes to it’s unique tone. This is according to my recollection of a conversation I had with Ricky, who is a wealth of knowledge on sho-buds, including this one, which was produced during the transition into the LDG era of sho-buds.
Let me know if you have any questions. I’m happy to ship to lower 48, which will probably be around 100-150. It’s pretty, ok, really heavy at about 75lbs.
Thanks,
Jesse
