ShoBud restoration project

Post by Mac Knowles »

Hi folks,
I've started on a restoration job for a friend of mine. It's a Bud Pro lll custom, serial number 6429.
Would be interested in discovering where this guitar started out. It was inspected by "JP". The guitar's been in a barn for quite a few years pretty dirty etc. It was missing 3 pedals and assorted other stuff...which I have gotten original parts to replace with. Any info would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mac

Built Oct 74
Gene Haugh has alot of the build/shipping details from years back when he worked at Sho~Bud. He may see this or you could try emailing him to see who it was sold to, what music store or distributor it was shipped to, color, configuration etc.
