This Bud’s for you! If you know Sho Buds, you know what this old girl sounds like and you know what she is - a gem!! The case is the original “doctor†style with blue lining and a tray - like the guitar, it's in immaculate condition. The guitar has been taken apart and thoroughly cleaned and lubed. The changer was polished smooth and shiny so it plays much better than you'd think a guitar like this would ever play. It's what you would call a two hole puller and these guitars are a great design. They are considered by many to be the best of all Sho Bud designs. I've had dozens of great guitars and this one is right up there with the best. I honestly hate to sell it but I have other guitars that keep me busy and this guitar deserves to be played more than I play it. This guitar plays like it looks - like a dream. You'll not find a prettier guitar. The finish was done by Bob Littleton and he does fabulous work. He sort of exceeded himself with this shade of blue. It has a silvery cast to it that is totally unique - it truly is gorgeous. It's set up Day but these guitars are easy to change over and very versatile. The way they work you could actually pull one string to a raise or lower on every pedal if you wanted to. All you need is more tuning barrels and they are readily available. It's a simple design and really easy to change around but if working on a steel makes you nervous I will change it over to your copedent for you and play it a bit to make sure it's right before I send it to you.
I will personally pack this thing like I'm shipping fine art.

That is one superb Shobud, Gary, and if I did not already have two great guitars sitting on the bench I would be all over it. A Zum (or JCH) will do that to you every time  |

Gary. Your Sho~Bud may win the prettiest and the “one I would most like to sit behind†of 2018. If I didn’t have two painfully disabled hands, I would love to discuss terms.
Best of luck on the sale.
Duncan
