| That's not the traditional shape for a "Fender"tele headstock. I think somebody stuck it on. A nice looking guitar!!! |

| That's the shape of a Strat neck. When you buy a replacement neck, Fender does not allow the seller dealer to use the factory logo, even for a licenced replacement. So, they come blank. Someone, in this case added a Sho-Bud logo to a blank Stratocaster neck. I can't believe the price! $2,495.00! |

| I remember A fellow by the name of Bill Meritt who worked at Sho-Bud. He also worked some with the Drifting Coyboys. He used to refinish old Tele's and put a red neck on them. He called them "The Red Neck Fender". They sold them at the Sho-Bud retail store. I think he even had a decal on each on saying just that. Bobby |

I think it was a scam too. I emailed the seller twice and received no replies.
Does anyone know what the headstock / decal on the few REAL ones that were made looked like? Anyone have pics of a real one? |

| I got a feeling this may be ok, I have an old Sho-bud catalog back in the Uk and for some reason I seem to remember seeing something like that, I may be wrong but then again.... |

| Nope... no bids. He sure had a lot of "lookers" though. I have been trying to gather information about the old Sho Bud 6 string line but have been unsuccessful excepting the website I found that I posted earlier. There is very little about them listed anywhere. If anyone has any suggestions of where to look or has any info about the guitars I would be interested. |
