Here are some pictures Eric sent me to post of his newly-acquired '75 Sho-Bud Pro 1. Eat yer heart out!

I meant to include that this guitar is currently being upgraded by James Morehead. He's adding some Coop knees and a white fretboard. The guitar is not yet completed. Looks like it's off to a good start, though!<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Chris LeDrew on 09 November 2006 at 05:39 PM.]</p></FONT>

Thanx Chris! You wouldn't recognise this guitar, from what I started with. This Pro I was a diamond in the rough--and I do mean ROUGH!! But these pics give a little taste of what was under all those years of smoke and grunge. But the REAL surprise is the uncommonly VIVID CRISP shobud tone, with the original pickup. I was amazed what the new set of Jagwires brought out of dormancy in this guitar! Eric, you scored BIG for a tone monster! I will be installing 3 more knees that are original Shobud parts. I am getting rid of the old dust catcher and putting on a brand new white fretboard from the Coopster, and a couple of the Shobud decals. This will be one sweeeet guitar!

Hey Chris..I have the very same guitar. It is nice to see one that is like mine because I wasn't sure of what I had....Mine doesn't have the pro 1 logo on it, so I wasn't sure that was what it is...only one kl....I am considering a new guitar soon but maybe I should hang onto this one also..maybe I can get some pictures up on here if I can figure it out.....If I was to sell mine...what is the value?..Bob

I'm buying it for $1500 which is good considering the top notch work that James is doing for me. Thanks for posting these Chris.
