Somebody tried to turn a Professional D-10 into a Lloyd Green model

and then some! Reserve price is pretty steep for such a "bastardized"

steel

This is not a Sho-Bud.

looks like an Emmons LeGrande pad on it.... from the top it dont look too bad (if I could get it for $200-$300 I'd get it and refinish it)... but the underside looks like swiss cheese... bad patching job on the screwholes

Yeah those look like Marlen Endplates...>shoBud changer mount..and keyhead and metal neck.
Not sure what the body is...It may be a later model Marlen body but I haven't seen that color before...but would indicate where all those holes were/are for the cross bars that go in the aprons for a Marlen...
Interesting project....

I agree with the seller, it does appear to mahogany (or at least a veneer). Does that provide any clues? What builders worked with mahogany?

Capt. Seymour,

You remember that P.O.S. too? Good call comrade.

Looks like a parts depot.
