This is a Sho-Bud D-10 8+6 Pro-II that was totally re-built last year. If you are in love with the 'Bud sound, this is an essentially new guitar with an an undercarriage that surpasses anything Sho-Bud ever produced.
All of the old pot-metal parts were removed and replaced with NEW "Coop" parts.....including:
-- New E9th and C6th "Coop" Super-Finger changers w/ ball-bearing pivots
-- New Triple raise / Double lower bell cranks
-- New pull-rods
-- New Tear-Drop knee levers
-- 4 New legs
The guitar has had the front-panel refinished by Twelfth Fret of Portland Oregon (the original owner had one of those damned "custom made for..." plaques which was removed and re-lacquered).
It sounds great, plays like a modern guitar and has only been out of my non-smoking home only 3 times. It comes w/ an OEM case, which is also in great shape.

E9th pedals: standard Emmons set-up
C6th pedals: standard 4-8

...... All kidding aside, some folks just do not like their instruments smelling of cigarette smoke. Others could care less.
WOW....Who said "Looks are NOT important"?
...great job ...
