Ricky-As you know, I love those old Sho-Buds, brings back memories of those Professionals.

That sure is a beauty and I know you have it working smooth as butter.
Of course, we all know about the old Sho-Bud tone.
I guess you must have a waiting list , restoring old Sho-Buds. You Da Man....al Image Image

Ricky...you've done it again, again and again...
Quite honestly, I want every steel that you post a picture of. My wife hates you and swears that you are trying to put us in the poorhouse. I feel very honored to own one that you refurbished. Maybe you should take a few years, go to med school perhaps, and try to bring a few people back to life. You can pass on Nixon, though.

I just got home from Austin with the Professional! I'm fixin' to plug it into my '71 blackfaced twin. If ya'll don't see me post for awhile, it's because I've gone to TONE HEAVEN!! HA! Later, dudes, I got an appointment with "The Professional". By the way, I named this guitar the "Coors Bud", as it came from Colorado. Thanx again, Rich C., and Ricky Davis for his talent applied!

I can't resist to update on this guitar. The tone is unreal, and the sustain is the best I have ever had under my picks and bar!
An Ricky, I have not had to tune this guitar yet, as IT'S STILL INTUNE!! HA!! I can say this, that most people have never played a Sho~Bud guitar that is actually functioning at 100% of what it's capable of doing. Ricky is the ONLY one who understands and cares enough to get that 100% out of these old guitars. Just my honest opinion.
