Hey Guys and Gals..

How many Buds with 24.5 inch scales out there.
A friend of mine is having his retooled and just discovered that fret boards hard hard to find.

In 73 or 74 Paul Franklin Sr. built me a gorgous blue lacquer Sho-Bud with 9 & 6 ,when I ordered the guitar from Shot Jackson, he said he had a pair of Aluminum necks, that Hal Rugg had designed that were slanted at the changer end, he said I could have them put on that guitar, which I of course said yes, that guitar had 24&1/2 inch necks, Nashville Steeler Jay Shupe, now has the guitar, Jay told me that the tone of that guitar got him a lot of session work!

Al,,,

That's about the time this guitar was built....by Paul Sr. also. this was actually my old steel and I had forgotten about the scale length. Well after the make over this one should sing.
