Serial number 5174

One over one changer
Strings 4 and 5 have two raise holes on E9th neck
An two raise holes on string 4 on C6th

This is a square front with no pot metal .
I wonder if this was done at Sho Bud factory ?

I know Lloyd Green’s steel has a similar setup.

That's a fairly early square front Pro III. Double raise modification on 4 & 5 was done at the factory prior to going to 2 over 1 changer. My '73 Pro II got that mod by Duane Marrs around that time frame while it was there to get my vertical knee installed. It went there single/single with barrels and came back to me looking just like that one! He called, and told me they were changing things and wanted to know if I wanted it done while he had it.
