| It looks like the guitar that Sho~Bud was building for Fender. |

Doug,
I think you've got that backwards, Fender never built guitars for Sho~Bud, it was the other way around.  |

That is a painted later model Maverick.

| I agree with Clyde. The later model Mavericks had the " ashtray" key head. It appears that a former owner had stripped off the contact paper and painted the body. FWIW: You may want to look elsewhere. If this guitar runs true to form, you will spend more time tinkering than playing. |

Looks to me like a painted maverick.
Limited student model 3 pedals and one knee lever lowering strings 2 and 8.
Only the good Lord knows what they did to the fretboard and why?
If (And e-Bay is always a big if) it's all there, would be a decent starter guitar, but very limited by todays standards.
I'd really miss the lowered 4th string and the F lever.
Could play most of the tab in Winnie's book.
Maybe try to knock the price down???
Better still, save up a more cash for a professional S-10 model with at least 3&3.

| I would definitely try to get some pictures of the undercarriage. It looks like a later maverick that someone has painted. Considering what all has been done I'd either try to get a better deal on it or keep looking. I only see two pedals and I know that some of the later mavericks did without the C pedal and were able to lower the 4th string along with string 8 so this one may be setup like this, unless I'm just not seeing the third pedal in the picture. I started on a maverick and actually enjoyed playing it and still do from time to time but it has its limitations. |

| If you view the original ad on the Richmond 'Craigslist', there are three photos available (none of the undercarriage unfortunately). Looking closely at one of the views, the 'Sho-Bud' logo can be clearly seen stamped on the key head. |

I think that I'd just let it go.

| Thanks for all the responses. I was curious and knew you guys would have more info than I could come up with. I have a S-10 BMI 3x5 but was looking for something easy on the wallet that I could leave setup in the house so I didn't have to setup my BMI every week to practice after gigs. Those 3 flights of stairs take a toll after a while. haha. I'm going to pass, looks more like a headache than solution. Thanks again for everyone's input. |

Third floor is for Fiddles and Flutes.
Second floor is for guys who play Teles.
First floor is for steelers, bass players and those guys who hang out with musicians called "Drummers".....
Won't mention the basement!

Sounds like great inspiration for a "country song"

Nickolas, This is definitely a Sho-bud Maverick painted blue. I offered to buy it, but he will not ship it.
It will bring more than the price for parts. The case is worth $100.00, pedals and bar over a hundred, not mention the other parts. This steel is easy to work on if needed to play it. |
