| Is that a Crossover model or a permanent that was converted to All Pull? It is one gorgeous guitar!! You are a lucky man indeed. Hoe about putting up a few more pics so we can all drool over it. |

It looks to me like a converted Baldwin, notice the all maple neck. Could this possibly be Lloyd's original?   |

Jim,
Bobbe is sure that it is Lloyd's original, while Lloyd has heard that when the guitar was returned to Sho-Bud they put back the C6th neck. When Bobbe found the guitar it was in very bad shape, it's now totally restored and in great playing condition.

Marco, congratulations on your pending 40th birthday and on the beautiful Sho~Bud your wife demanded that you buy .
Say, I turn 50 on August 15th. I wonder if my wife will insist that I buy a '66 Emmons D10?....I can dream can't I!?! 
Keep on pickin'!
