I've had this blondie since 1973. She's taken me on a lot of adventures. They used some pretty wood to build these.
I planned to add two more knees, but sadly she will never wear James Morehead parts.
Before I disassembled and cleaned the underacrriage and changer.

Love my '73 Pro I. Still plays and sounds great. Had it over 20 years, replaced a couple barrel tuners and she stays in tune perfectly. She's a keeper.

You say "restored"? Is that keyless tuning apparatus original Sho-Bud? |

Hi Brint, the original owner was a friend of Shots...they cut off the tuner end and added the keyless tuners...I bought it off the New Orleans Craig's list from the owners daughter after he died..It had 3 pedals and 2 levers and the Roland Gk2. I turned it into 6/5 Ext E9. This the 1st Bela tuners I've seen. Larry

My 1974 Sho-Bud model 6139 has seen a lot of gigs. It has some bruises and lacquer cracks, but it still looks and sounds good. It originally came with one knee lever; two were added later. It is now a 3x3, which is all I really need.

This Crossover is now an SD-10 with 3+3. I put an Alumitone pickup in it and I love it. Sweet and clear with no hum or buzz anywhere I've used it.

Here's my Sho-Bud. I need to put the pedals on. I just purchased this and it was formerly owned by Steve Miller. This is my first post on the forum, nice to meet everyone, I am thrilled to find you!!!

Welcome Cindy, we are thrilled to have found you.
Is that Steve Miller of 'Big Old Jet Airliner' fame? Doesn't matter, it's a beauty.
As to your signature: you'll have to play a lot louder to disturb us. |

Here's one of my 2 buds. This one is a Professional, with an older LDG undercarriage conversion to SD10. My regular gigging guitar.
